Lincoln Human Resource Management Association

What Lincoln Human Resource Management Association does

Lincoln Human Resource Management Association (LincolnHR) is a private, nonprofit professional association serving human resources practitioners in the Lincoln, Nebraska metropolitan area and across the broader state. The organization operates as an affiliated chapter of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) and as a peer to HR Nebraska (the state SHRM council), delivering professional development, networking, and advocacy services to its membership base. LincolnHR's product surface spans monthly educational programs and luncheons (held at the SCC Jack J Huck Continuing Education Center and virtually via Zoom), SHRM-CP and SHRM-SCP certification study groups, an annual statewide HR Nebraska State Conference at the La Vista Conference Center, a for-purchase annual Salary and Benefits Survey, the Best Places to Work in Lincoln recognition program (powered by Quantum Workplace), a members-only HR job board, government relations and legislative update services, college relations and workforce readiness programming, and diversity and inclusion resources. Distribution is event-driven: a calendar of in-person and virtual sessions promoted through the lincolnhr.org website and email newsletters, with SHRM and HR Nebraska providing top-of-funnel referrals.

The business model is a hybrid of recurring membership dues (annual subscription), pay-as-you-go event and webinar registration (with members attending programs free and non-members paying $25/program; webinar sessions priced at $10-$30), one-time sale of survey data products, and sponsorship/advertising revenue from meeting sponsors, email blasts, website banners, HR job postings, and employer tables at career expos. Customers are primarily individual HR professionals (persona segment) with a secondary business-unit segment of employers and organizations purchasing advertising, sponsorship, and survey data. Pricing is publicly disclosed at the per-program and per-webinar level. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors, has no parent company, no institutional funding, and no disclosed financial statements; the stated headcount range of 101-250 employees likely reflects a broad member/volunteer count rather than paid staff. Technology is built on WordPress with off-the-shelf calendar and webinar tooling (Zoom, All-in-One Event Calendar); there are no proprietary technology platforms, AI products, or APIs disclosed.

Direct peers

• HR Certification Institute (HRCI): Independent HR certification body offering PHR/SPHR/GPHR credentials. Competes with SHRM-aligned certifications and shares the same audience of HR professionals seeking credentialing, continuing education, and recertification credits.
• Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM): The national professional association for HR practitioners. LincolnHR operates as an affiliated SHRM chapter, and SHRM's certification programs, continuing education offerings, and member benefits are the upstream framework that defines LincolnHR's core products.
• WorldatWork: Professional association focused on compensation, benefits, and total rewards — the most directly comparable niche HR association. Similar membership-driven model with education, certification (CCP/GRP), and local programming.
• Association for Talent Development (ATD): Professional association serving talent development professionals with certification (CPLP), local chapters, conferences, and education. Comparable business model serving HR-adjacent practitioners with similar recurring-revenue dynamics.

Broad incumbents

• International Public Management Association for Human Resources (IPMA-HR): Long-standing public-sector HR association with chapter structure, certification (IPMA-CP/IPMA-CS), and education programs. Comparable association model but concentrated on government HR — a broader incumbent in adjacent HR verticals.

Others

• Project Management Institute (PMI): Large global professional association with PMP certification, chapter network, and recurring membership revenue. Adjacent comparable on association/chapter economics and certification lifecycle, though serving a different profession.
• National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE): Association connecting college career services and employers, with content, surveys (Salary Survey, Job Outlook), and an annual conference. Comparable professional association model serving workforce/employer branding and compensation benchmarking — directly relevant given LincolnHR's salary survey product.

Emerging players

• Association of Change Management Professionals (ACMP): Professional association for change management practitioners offering the CCMP certification, local chapters, and education events. Smaller and more specialized than SHRM but uses the same chapter + certification + events model.
• International Association of Business Communicators (IABC): Global association for business communication professionals offering certification, chapters, and programming. Operates with a similar chapter-based, membership-funded model serving a HR-adjacent communications audience.
