With so many legislation changes that will effect Human Resources Practitioners nationally, what a better time to join CiHRG! CiHRG offers fantastic opportunities for local professionals to gain excellent NETWORKING AND TRAINING experience that will assist in keeping up with critical changes in the business world!

This year our chapter is committed to spreading the word about what CiHRG can do for potential new members. As of January 1, 2009, CiHRG membership reached 163 members. We are happy to report that we have grown again! Due to your support and NETWORKING, membership has reached 173! Our goal is to gain 27 additional new members by December 31, 2009! The magic membership number is 200! We increased membership last year by 30 and earned SUPER STAR status at last year's SHRM Leadership Conference. We CAN do it again this year!

The Membership Committee has been working hard at developing fun easy ways for new members to find us and join our dynamic group!
