Section 1: Chapter In Good Standing Requirements

This section includes the basic requirements for a student chapter to remain in good standing and is required of ALL student chapters, regardless of award eligibility.

1.1 Met and maintained the minimum affiliation requirement of eight (8) national SHRM student members throughout the year. 1.2 Our chapter advisor was a current SHRM professional, general or associate member, and the chapter president was a current SHRM student member, during his or her entire 2020-2021 term of office. In addition, we will complete a 2021-2022 Student Chapter Information Form (SCIF) by June 1, 2021 to identify incoming chapter board leadership and our student chapter advisor for the 2021-2022 year. 1.3 Correctly and consistently displayed the current SHRM "Affiliate Of" logo on your website, chapter letterhead, banner, publications and products. 1.4 During the 2020-2021 award year, we held a minimum of four (4) board meetings and a minimum of four (4) educational events at our chapter meetings that are organized and led by the student chapter. 1.5 Submitted any changes that occurred to your membership roster on the Student Chapter Roster Update Form no later than April 30, 2021.

Section 2A: Chapter Leadership and Operations

(OPTIONAL, BUT MUST BE COMPLETED FOR AWARD CONSIDERATION)

The three items in Section 2A demonstrate chapter leadership and sound operational practices. These three items must be completed in order to pre-qualify for an award with the activities that start in Section 2B. The skills and knowledge learned through this work will benefit chapter leaders as well as ensure the chapter’s future success.

2A.1 During at least one board meeting, we provided each board member with the SHRM Student Chapter Operations Manual and the opportunity for the leadership to transition, plan and review the chapter's bylaws. 2A.2 We created and implemented a Student Chapter Operating Plan for the award year. 2A.3 We created or maintained a chapter website/page and included a hyperlink to SHRM's home page (www.shrm.org).

Please check your year-end report thoroughly. If you are ready to submit your year-end report at this time, please click the "Submit" button below. Once you submit your report, you will not be able to work on it further or retrieve it. All submissions will be considered final.
