Foothills of GA SHRM

Our History

In October of 2001, several Human Resource professionals began meeting to discuss the formation an association of Human Resource professionals. The idea was to network with other Human Resource professionals in Northeast Georgia to share information regarding health insurance, compensation, EAPs, recruitment, retention, wellness programs, Risk Management, Unemployment Compensation, Workers' Compensation and other topics.

In 2002, the officers of the newly formed association applied to become a chapter of the Society for Human Resource Management. The application was accepted and the association became known as the SHRM-Foothills of Georgia Chapter. Through our affiliation, membership, programs and activities, we continue to support and advance initiatives and training that are important to HR Management and Northeast Georgia.
