Looking for a great way to get more involved in Metro Milwaukee SHRM and the profession? Join a committee or Special Interest Group (SIG)! Committees are the backbone of our organization, providing us with support to our certification, educational conference, membership, and networking activities. Special Interest Groups are focused groups whose members come together to share information about specific areas of the HR profession.
Each SIG holds monthly meetings from September through June. Each is devoted to the sharing of best practices and the on-going development of the SIG members. SIGs also provide a personal and email network for members to share ideas and ask questions.
Becoming a member of either a committee or a SIG provides an opportunity for leadership, career development, education, and networking. Listed below are the current SIGs and Committees:

The Metro Milwaukee SHRM Special Interest Groups (SIG) and Committees put on valuable programs that you won’t want to miss. Participation is a member-only feature and at the beginning of each month we send out a digest of programs being presented by each SIG in the weeks ahead. There is no cost to be a member of a SIG and you can attend any program presented by any SIG at no charge to you. Over the course of a year, our SIGs present more than 60 educational opportunities for our members!
