District Directors
District Directors

District Directors serve as Council representatives for designated geographical areas within Virginia. The District Director provides leadership and communication to further the Society's goals and objectives between existing and future SHRM members and SHRM professional and student chapters.

District Directors serve an important function in the continued growth of new SHRM members and local chapters. They are present to help their chapters and chapter leaders develop and grow through an ongoing process of education, training, experience and leadership development. The District Directors assist to inspire higher levels of teamwork within chapters.

District Directors are available to help chapters accomplish their objectives and goals through application of leadership within the chapter. As chapter liaisons, they are there to lead chapter officers and members to accomplish these tasks with a positive impact.

As representatives of SHRM and the Virginia State Council, District Directors are there to assist chapters in understanding the national and state overall strategy and help members understand how they can be a part of achieving that success through key objectives. The directors also serve as a conduit in the sharing of information from both the national and state organization with the local chapters.

The Southwest District of VA-SHRM is spread from Christiansburg to Abingdon, Virginia (nearly Tennessee). Interstate 81 gets you “mostly” to the three chapters, but then there’s always some driving beyond the Interstate. That’s really the most interesting part. The landscape is beautiful so it makes for a great drive, generally around 3 hours depending on which chapter and where the meeting is being held. The three chapters-- New River Valley (Christiansburg), Twin County (Galax), and SW Virginia (Wise)-- represent the Human Resources profession on the southwestern end of Virginia. Each chapter is unique in its own way, but they all offer great programs and opportunities to network with other Human Resources professionals. They are an effective arm of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) and a strong part of the VA-SHRM initiatives.
