I am already a member of SHRM and this Chapter (dual member). What do I need to do?
In short, nothing! Your Chapter membership and SHRM membership have been aligned through your SHRM membership profile. Thus, your expiration dates for both memberships are now the same (the dates are aligned to your SHRM national membership expiration). Whenever your SHRM membership is up for next renewal, you will renew both memberships at the same time.
