New York City SHRM

What New York City SHRM does

New York City SHRM (also operating as NYC SHRM and HR/NY) is a regional professional membership association serving human resources practitioners across the New York Metropolitan area. It is identified as SHRM's first regional chapter and operates as the largest HR-dedicated professional network in the NYC Metro, with access to nearly 2,000 HR professional members. The organization delivers its value through four core product surfaces: an annual membership subscription, 40+ annual events and webinars (including a Biennial Conference, Spring Summit, Legal & Legislative Conference, and a recurring Third Friday Webinar series), 25 Special Interest Groups covering topics such as Career Journey, DEI, Total Rewards, and Emerging Professionals, and an HR Career Portal job board.

The underlying technology stack is built on third-party association management software from YourMembership.com, which powers the member portal, event registration, email marketing, and career center functionality. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the nycshrm.org website, event registrations, and an outbound channel mix spanning email newsletter, LinkedIn, Facebook, and in-person events. Core partnerships include SHRM (national affiliation), YourMembership.com (platform), PayScale, WorldatWork, Jackson Lewis, Crain's New York, and the 9/11 Memorial & Museum.

Revenue is generated through three streams: recurring annual membership dues, transactional event and conference fees (with member discounts on most programming), and corporate sponsorships from HR-facing vendors. Customer segments span four personas — HR professionals (primary), HR job seekers, HR students and emerging professionals, and HR employers/recruiters — with the membership priced as an annual subscription and individual events priced on a pay-as-you-go basis (e.g., $25 for non-member webinar access, $35 for crisis leadership programming). No revenue, headcount, funding, or founding year is publicly disclosed.

Direct peers

• WorldatWork: A professional association focused on total rewards, compensation, and HR. WorldatWork is a direct peer in the HR professional association category and is also an active GTM partner of NYC SHRM, offering discounted courses to its members.
• Long Island SHRM: Another SHRM regional chapter operating within the New York Metropolitan area. Directly comparable in chapter model, member scale, and event programming, and competes with NYC SHRM for members and sponsors in the same metro.
• Association for Talent Development (ATD): A global professional association serving talent development, learning, and HR practitioners. Comparable to NYC SHRM in operating a membership model centered on education, events, certification, and local chapters.
• HR People + Strategy (HRPS): A membership-based network for senior HR leaders and CHROs, providing executive-level networking, events, and research. Operates a similar dues-plus-events model targeting HR professionals at the upper end of the career spectrum.
• New Jersey SHRM: A neighboring SHRM regional chapter serving HR professionals in New Jersey. Closest direct peer in the same SHRM chapter network, competing for member attention, sponsorships, and event attendance in the broader NY/NJ corridor.

Broad incumbents

• SHRM (Society for Human Resource Management): The national parent-affiliated HR professional association. NYC SHRM operates as SHRM's first regional chapter, so SHRM is the umbrella body whose certifications, conferences, and member benefits NYC SHRM extends locally.

Emerging players

• DisruptHR: A global community of HR-focused events using a short-form 'Ted Talk' style format. Comparable as an alternative event-based engagement model targeting HR professionals, potentially competing for attendee mindshare against traditional SHRM chapter events.
• Human Capital Institute (HCI): An HR research, education, and events organization serving HR and talent leaders. Overlaps with NYC SHRM in education, certification-adjacent content, and executive programming, though it operates more as a content and research vendor than a dues-based chapter.

Others

• International Association of Business Communicators (IABC): A global professional membership association for business communicators. Comparable as a parallel professional-association operating model — local chapters, dues, events, certification — but in an adjacent discipline to HR rather than a direct competitor.
• National Black MBA Association: A national professional membership organization serving Black business professionals. Comparable in operating a chapter-based membership and events model for a professional community, though serving a different occupational segment than HR.
