@Ben I often forget what all SHRM has to offer until a coworker mentions finding something.

@China – Thanks for the comment! When I first got into HR I did use the SHRM site often. Many of my coworkers still do.

@Laurie – Math is not my friend. We tolerate each other and that’s about it.

I wonder if their efforts to be everything to everyone aren’t crippling the very people they’re trying to help… Hmmm…

Anyway. Good post. I’ve been doing a lot of reading/thinking about SHRM and professional associations in general. Good reminder that a lot of people still use them for some good reasons.
