Welcome

Welcome to SHRM Raleigh Metro!

Whether you are a long-time member, a professional exploring our chapter for the first time, a valued sponsor, or a community partner, I am grateful you are here.

As Human Resources (HR) professionals, we know the strongest organizations are built one relationship at a time. That belief is at the heart of everything we do at SHRM Raleigh Metro.

Here at SHRM Raleigh Metro, we emphasize the role Human Resources plays with four words:

Hire. Inspire. Retain. Repeat.

We help organizations hire exceptional talent.
We inspire leaders and teams through learning, connection, and fresh ideas.
We create workplaces where people want to stay and retain top talent.
And then we do it again, continuously strengthening our organizations and our community.

At SHRM Raleigh Metro, we bring this cycle to life by creating opportunities for HR professionals to learn, grow, and support one another at every stage of their careers.

For some, that means attending a monthly chapter meeting to hear from industry experts and earn recertification credits. For others, it means joining Emerging Leaders, Members in Transition, or one of our many volunteer committees to navigate the next steps in their careers while building upon their leadership skills. For our sponsors and partners, it means collaborating with a trusted network of HR decision-makers who are passionate about improving the world of work.

No matter how you engage with us, you are part of a community that believes in the power of people.

As a mental health and workplace wellness advocate, I have seen firsthand how healthy, engaged employees transform organizations. I also know that HR professionals are often the steady hands guiding others through change. Our chapter exists to support those professionals with the education, resources, and relationships they need to thrive.

SHRM Raleigh Metro is proud to serve one of the most dynamic and fast-growing business communities in the country. Together, we are shaping workplaces where people feel valued, supported, and empowered to do their best work.

I invite you to get involved in whatever way feels right for you:

• Attend an upcoming event
• Join as a member
• Volunteer your time and talents
• Become a sponsor

There is a place for you here.

Thank you for being part of our community and for the work you do to help people and organizations thrive.

Warmly,

Ruby Brown-Herring, MEd, BSW
President, SHRM Raleigh Metro
CEO, RBH Wellness Solutions
