We are excited to have you as a new CASHRM member. Our various membership levels, membership fees and FAQ's can be found below. All new membership applications are pending upon verification of membership criteria and credentials.
CASHRM chapter membership is conferred upon an individual and not the individual’s employer or sponsoring organization. An individual membership is neither transferable nor assignable. Once approved, it belongs to the member for as long as the membership is current and in good standing.
CASHRM dues provide all membership benefits for twelve (12) calendar months from date of payment. Dues include meal and beverage service at regularly scheduled monthly meetings.
If a member's dues expire at the end of the 12-month period, he/she will be deactivated from the membership list and member-level web site access until dues are paid in full. Members so deactivated may be subject to a re-activation fee for reinstatement to CASHRM membership.
The CASHRM Board may designate sponsored events/seminars for the benefit of the membership and in addition to or in conjunction with monthly meetings – e.g. mid-year legal update, mock trial, etc. The Board will set a reasonable participation fee for such events/seminars (with separate rates for members and guests) as may be appropriate to cover the expenses for such events. In addition, the Board may elect to contribute any proceeds of any special event/seminar to the annual SHRM Foundation fund drive or any other charitable purpose.
