Dear
HRACI Member:
In
2004, SHRM moved to a new strategic format of offerings to their
HR members. This new format include the establishment of focus
groups within certain topics of HR that they call "Forums"
or "Special Interest Groups". These focus groups exist
on a National level and in some of the State Chapters, they also
exist on a local level. Currently, the Employment Management Association
(E.M.A.) has been established as SHRM's largest Forum Group and
we have also established a local forum 3 years ago which is part
of HRACI's local offerings still today.

HRACI looks to add value and expand member benefits, the Professional
Development Committee would like to learn your thoughts on creating
a second local Special Interest Group ("S.I.G.") focused
on HR Consultants. Again, a S.I.G. is a subset of HRACI who focuses
on a specific discipline or topic within HR and this group has
been identified as one who does not have a current forum to discuss
/ educate on current issues, etc.
The
HR Consultants S.I.G. would meet to discuss:
