Lead, Engage, and Inspire

Welcome to the website for SHRM South King County (SHRM SKC), a chapter affiliated with Washington State SHRM, the Northwest Human Resource Management Association (NHRMA), and the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM).


The SHRM South King County Chapter was established in July 1985 by a small group of individuals whose job responsibilities included dealing with personnel and organizational related issues.  They were seeking the insight and experience of other "personnel" managers who were knowledgeable about labor/employee relations and employment practices. Many of the members were from very small manufacturing plants that were springing up in the South King County area of Washington.

Over the years, SHRM SKC has grown its membership to several hundred who represent a broad spectrum of businesses, from small to large, including service industries, technology, public and private entities, plus non-profit organizations and schools.

The combined experience of the current board members represents over 100 years of human resources experience. We are here to serve our members. Please let us know how we can assist you!
