The South Puget Sound Society for Human Resource Management (SPS SHRM) Chapter’s mission is to develop and connect South Sound Human Resource professionals by providing strategic and practical tools and resources. Achieving and maintaining professional certification in Human Resources is one way for HR professionals to elevate their standing in the profession. To encourage professional development of its members and to recognize the efforts of members to further their careers in the Human Resources field, SPS SHRM has established an exciting program to provide financial assistance to those current chapter members who sit for the PHR, SPHR, GPHR certification examination offered through the Human Resources Certification Institute (HRCI) or the SHRM-CP and SHRM-SCP certification examination offered through the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM).
