SMA South Florida provides quality employment-related programs focusing on recruitment and retention. Our purpose is to add value to the employment process through education, innovation and the identification of technology advances and best practices in the field. We do this through a minimum of 6 meetings per year providing professional speakers and the opportunity to network with other professionals responsible for staffing or employment-related activities, as well as individuals who provide services for employment-related functions.

​
SMA South Florida events address and focus on:

• Identification of issues and trends
• Opportunities for professional development and education
• Ongoing sharing of best practices
• Promulgation of ethical standards
• Innovation and active use of available technology
• Leadership development
• Evaluation and measurement of business impact
• Research on staffing-related topics

What does it mean to have SMA as your Primary Chapter Designation?
By completing the online application and stating you wish to designate SMA as your Primary SHRM Chapter, you are authorizing SHRM to provide financial support to the chapter.  This is one of the ways the Chapter earns revenue. The revenue generated by the monthly or bi-monthly meetings also goes toward the administrative costs to keep the Chapter solvent. SMA’s Board of Directors are volunteers and receive no compensation for their work.

You can be a member of other SHRM Chapters, but you can only designate one as your primary chapter.

SMA South Florida is a 100% SHRM affiliate chapter, so in order to be considered for membership you must first become a member of SHRM.  Please click on the link below if you are not yet a member of SHRM and join today!
