Society for Human Resource Management – Long Island

What Society for Human Resource Management – Long Island does

The Society for Human Resource Management – Long Island Chapter, Inc. (SHRM-LI) is a New York State-incorporated nonprofit professional membership association and a 100% affiliated local chapter of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) national organization. Originally founded in 1975 as The Personnel Society of Long Island and renamed to its current form, the chapter serves approximately 1,300 HR professionals drawn from more than 1,000 businesses across Long Island, spanning the full spectrum of industries and career levels. The organization is led by an elected Executive Board and Board of Directors composed of senior HR practitioners from member companies, supported by standing committees covering Certification, Emerging Leaders, Diversity & Inclusion, Legislative Advocacy, Foundation, Marketing, Membership, Programming, and Workforce Readiness.

SHRM-LI's core offering is chapter membership, delivered through the ClubExpress membership management platform, which provides access to networking events, monthly chapter meetings, annual conferences, certification study groups, a job bank, a business directory, and the SHRM national resource library. Supporting sub-products include HR Certification Study Groups (SHRM-CP / SHRM-SCP), the HR L.E.A.D. Mentoring Program launched in Spring 2025, the Matt Halpern Memorial Scholarship, and an Emerging Leaders Committee aimed at students. The chapter does not develop proprietary technology; its operations run on ClubExpress alongside standard digital channels (website, LinkedIn, Facebook, X, YouTube, Instagram, Pinterest, email newsletters).

The chapter's revenue model is a hybrid of corporate sponsorships and ancillary event/program fees, supplemented by SHRM national dual-membership integration. Because SHRM-LI is a 100% affiliated chapter, it does not charge its own local membership dues — all member fees are collected centrally by SHRM national and the chapter retains no direct subscription revenue. Corporate sponsorship revenue comes from annual partners including Jackson Lewis (legal), HUB International (insurance/benefits), Sentinel Benefits & Financial Group (retirement/benefits), Senior Services of North America, The Bristal Assisted Living, Encore Luxury Living, and Dayforce (HCM technology), with the 2026 annual conference already in early-bird promotion.
