RV SHRM Chapter History
SHRM ROGUE VALLEY CHAPTER HISTORY
Northwest Human Resources Management Association and Society of Human Resource Management Northwest Human Resources Management Association (known as PNPMA at the time) became affiliated with the Society for Human Resource Management (known as ASPA at the time) in January of 1972. There are no NHRMA membership dues for SHRM members in Alaska, Oregon, and Washington. All SHRM members in these locations are automatically members of NHRMA.
Prior to 1974, there were no personnel or human resources organizations in the Rogue Valley Area. In 1975, Warren Brown, a Board member of the Eugene Chapter of PNPMA moved to Medford. Warren proposed to other local HR professionals that they start a local chapter. So in 1975, the Rogue Valley Chapter of PNPMA was chartered. The chapter has grown remarkably over the years from about 15 members to over 140 members strong. However, the two things that remain constant: we meet to advance the HR profession and serve the professional. The chapter history was provided by Warren Brown, Chapter Historian on February 24, 2000 and has been updated annually.
