HISTORY

 The Charlotte Area Society for Human Resource Management (CASHRM) had its humble beginnings in the fall of 1942. At that time, four personnel directors began meeting for lunch once or twice a month to share ideas and discuss common problems in the field of personnel and labor relations.

These discussions became so fruitful and purposeful the group felt that others could also benefit. As a result, in the fall of 1943, the Charlotte Personnel Directors' Association (CPDA) was formally organized with a constitution and a small membership of ten men and women from the Charlotte area.

From 1943 through 1963, the Association grew to 55 members, while adhering to its original set of objectives: the discussion, research and exchange of ideas pertaining to personnel, industrial relations, or labor relations. Membership had been generally limited to personnel directors but in 1964, CPDA sought local chapter affiliation with the American Society for Personnel Administration – what we now know as the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM). To reflect the change in membership requirements, the Association changed its name to (CAPA) and saw remarkable growth in the 1970's and 1980's.

Through the 1990's, CAPA continued its robust growth and closed the decade on a high note - the addition of its first website in 1999. Now available through the internet, CAPA opened a new era of accessibility for resources and information to members who benefited greatly. That same year the membership also voted to adopt a change in by-laws to allow associate memberships for professional HR consultants beginning in 2000. As a result, membership grew to 300 members.

In January 2002, CAPA once again adopted a new name: The Charlotte Area Society for Human Resource Management (CASHRM), thus branding the organization as the premier human resource management affiliate for the Greater Charlotte area. Exciting new developments included expanding the organization’s website to broaden the scope of content, resources and add the convenience of online meeting registration.



The goals and objectives of CASHRM continue to include networking, promotion of SHRM, sponsoring current issues seminars, supporting the student chapters of SHRM, promoting the human resources profession, and maintaining the high ethical standards of the profession. CASHRM continues to make the communities we live in and the organizations we serve better places as a result of our combined efforts in the practice and promotion of the human resources professional.
