DMR - Dual Membership Release

A message to the JSAHR Community:

Our Chapter is excited to join with SHRM National on the Dual Membership Release (DMR) program.  We will be launching this program on April 13, 2026.

This program enables us to jointly sell and renew our Chapter membership along with SHRM’s membership in one transaction with one profile – all of this will be handled by SHRM’s robust systems. Chapters have been asking for this solution for years, and it is finally happening!  Chapter members will no longer pay separate Chapter membership dues directly to the Chapter but will instead renew their Chapter membership at the same time that they renew their SHRM membership.

Renewal Date Alignment: To make this program work, the renewal date of your Chapter membership must be aligned to the renewal date you have on your SHRM membership. The SHRM renewal date will be the only renewal date going forward. This alignment means that on April 13, 2026, your chapter membership will automatically either be (1) lengthened so that it lasts as long as your remaining SHRM membership; or (2) shortened so that it is as short as your remaining SHRM membership.  Depending on how much your chapter membership is lengthened or shortened to align with your SHRM membership, you may receive a credit or an invoice.

After this one-time alignment, whenever you renew in the future, you will be able to renew both memberships seamlessly and simultaneously.

We will remind you of this important program again.  Thank you for your support during this conversion process.
