Why Dodge County SHRM?
The Most Award-Winning Chapter in Wisconsin
Our chapter began our affiliation in 2006 with only a small group. In 2013 our leadership team had a hard choice, join another SHRM chapter or regroup and attempt to grow our own chapter. Our leaders were determined to reenergize and make the Dodge County SHRM Chapter a viable and community resource and they turned it around to 80+ members by 2015. Since then we’ve won the Leadership Award in 2022 and a Pinnacle Award in 2015, 2017, and 2021.
Our goal for 2023 is to be sure every business in Dodge County and the surrounding areas understands the exceptional resources and value associated with a local SHRM membership. Our membership isn’t limited to Dodge County, WI.
We offer our meetings virtually, so members can live anywhere in the United States. Whether you work in HR or in a small business without an HR department, you need to know how to resolve and address issues and our SHRM Chapter can be a resource for you. Come join us and take your human resource management skills and understanding to the next level.
