 Welcome to the Heart of Illinois HR Council (#326)

I’m excited about what 2017 will bring to our chapter! We are a local chapter and affiliate of SHRM, the Society for Human Resource Management, a global HR organization with over 290,000 members world-wide!

Interested in joining our chapter? Our dues are set at low prices to encourage enrollment for anyone interested. They are paid on an annual basis from January through December of each year. SHRM National members receive an additional discount. By becoming a member, lunch prices are also reduced significantly.

Learn more & join today!

Whether you are new to human resources or an experienced leader, we look forward to providing you with opportunities to learn and grow in the HR profession.

We provide SHRM and HRCI approved programs, professional development information, and the opportunity to network with some of the Peoria area’s best and brightest HR professionals.

Generally, our chapter meets the 2nd Wednesday of the month for lunch and to discuss the real- world HR issues affecting our members. For those with SHRM-CP/SHRM-SCP, PHR/SPHR/GPHR designations, the Heart of Illinois HR Council is an excellent value to earn recertification credits. With the exception of our February meeting, our meetings will be held this year at the Lariat Club. The February meeting this year will be held at the Embassy Suites in East Peoria, sponsored by ADP.

Interested in becoming certified? HIHRC is a certified SHRM partner and offers classes two (2) times per year for certification as a SHRM-CP or SHRM-SCP. Stay tuned because our prices can’t be beat! Members can also apply for a scholarship twice a year.

Interested in volunteering? Join us as we partner with local high school students and employers to provide interviewing and employment skills through the ELITE program or assist in veteran programs and join a committee.

Interested in joining the HIHRC Board? Ask a current or former board member for more information on running for the board (usually takes place in September – October of each year).

We encourage you to look around our website and learn more about us. Please reach out to me or another board member with any questions or concerns. We look forward to seeing you at our upcoming meetings and events!
