32 The New SHRM Credentials We believe these new credentials will become the globally-recognized standard of excellence in HR. We’ve created the SHRM-CP and SHRM-SCP to: o Encourage HR professionals to acquire the knowledge and behaviors that drive effective performance and career success, and contribute to positive organizational outcomes o Establish a certification that is highly relevant to employers, and meets the needs of business; o Grow certification in the HR profession; and o Create a new and universal standard for HR.

34 Commitment to Chapters We recognize that with this change, SHRM Chapters may face some short-term challenges, which SHRM wants to help address. o SHRM Chapters in good standing will be designated as Preferred Providers for SHRM recertification programs at no cost. As Preferred Providers, chapters will have the opportunity to offer programs qualifying for recertification credit without pre-approval. (Offerings will be subject to audit.) o SHRM Chapters and State Councils in good standing will also be eligible for enhanced chapter support based on the number of SHRM certified members at the end of 2015 and 2016.
