The award aligns individual chapters’ and state councils’ activities with SHRM’s aspirations for the HR profession. The award recognizes accomplishments and strategic activities and initiatives that enhance the human resource profession.

“SHRM exists because of our great chapters and state councils like EPSHRM which work tirelessly to help advance the important mission of the HR profession through initiatives that support our future, build inclusive organizations and focus on workplace readiness,” said Johnny C. Taylor, Jr., SHRM-SCP, president and chief executive officer of SHRM. “Recognizing you as a recipient of this prestigious award is just one way to show that SHRM supports you and that we are by your side step by step as we move Together Forward.” 

The SHRM Learning System Champion status is a recognition of our local chapter's work to elevate the HR profession through professional development and HR knowledge among members, gained from SHRM certification.

The El Paso SHRM Chapter received 3rd place as SHRM Foundation Chapter Champion for 2016.  We thank all our members for supporting the SHRM Foundation.  As a Champion our El Paso Chapter will be listed in our Annual Impact Report as well as featured on the SHRM Foundation recognition website.
