Agreement

Please note that WASHRM Membership is approved on an individual basis only. Memberships are not transferable to another person in your organization.

I hereby apply for membership (new/renewal) in the Winchester Area chapter of SHRM and agree to pay the current applicable membership dues of $180 per full year (which includes meal payments).  All membership types (full-year, 6-month prorated, or Q4 membership) will include a $5.00 credit card convenience fee to cover the cost of processing.  

I recognize and accept the responsibilities incumbent upon me as a member, and I pledge to practice and uphold the Code of Ethics of the Society, to abide by the Chapter Bylaws, and to assist in carrying out the objectives of the Chapter. 

I further acknowledge and understand the purpose of WASHRM, the WASHRM online tools and member directory, seek to establish communications between area HR professionals and allow them to share their thoughts and ideas relevant to human resources and safety.

With that thought in mind, it is important that any correspondence be solely relevant and focused on these goals. I understand that none of the WASHRM web tools/applications are not for the purpose of marketing or selling any company's products, but rather a means to information gathering that is relevant to yourself, your company, and the WASHRM group as a whole.

I will only use these tools/applications and membership directory only for information gathering and sharing purposes and not to market any products or services you may have to sell or offer.
