Mission, Purpose, and History

The Central Illinois Human Resources Group (CiHRG) is a local chapter (#246) of SHRM. Since 1948, SHRM has provided programs and services to improve the professional knowledge of HR professionals. It also promotes broader awareness of the value of human resource management and remains a key source of HR field developments.

  • A local starting point for networking, information, professional development, and continued support of excellence in HR.
  • To raise the standards, visibility, and recognition of the Human Resources profession.
