Welcome to HR Matters!
It's Time!
Over the last two years, I have witnessed our Human Resources profession move the HR needle in Texas. Our volunteer SHRM leaders are at the forefront fueling their local chapter members, organizations
and communities from Amarillo to Brownsville, El Paso to Beaumont.

The HRSouhtwest Conference is

Certification Renewals are Coming!
Certification renewal is the talk of SHRM Certification right now, and Texas is high on the list, leading the way in total certification holders across the U.S. For brand new certification applicants, Texas trails only the state of California.

Tri State SHRM
The Tri- State SHRM Chapter partnered with United Way of Greater Texarkana to participate in the annual Stuff The Bus school supply drive. Local organizations within the area collected school supplies to assit children with getting the necessary schoool supplies needed for the upcoming school year. 

Tri State SHRM Chapter had the pleasure of stuffing backpacks with school supplies.
