Seacoast Human Resource Association (SHRA)

About Us

Welcome! Whether you are new to the HR field or have many years of experience, we are your local starting point!

The Seacoast Human Resources Association (SHRA) is a non-partisan, non-sectarian, and non-profit organization dedicated to the career development of Human Resource professionals.

Our chapter was formed in 1986 as a means of enhancing the professional growth of its members by advancing the skills and competencies in the field of Human Resources, through seminars, workshops and personal contacts. We were granted a charter from the American Society of Personnel in October 1986. That name changed to the Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM) in 1991.

As a growing chapter of SHRM, we enjoy the support and the wide range of SHRM programs devoted to those engaged in a Human Resources career. Our chapter was awarded the SHRM Superior Merit Award in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008. SHRA encourages all applicants and members to hold a current membership with SHRM.
