Overview

Mission

To advance the hr profession and drive business success through advocating, serving, and connecting the Alabama hr community.

What it reported doing in 2025

The Alabama shrm state council is the communication link between members, chapters, and the shrm organization. The council provides leadership, communication, and supports thousands of human resource professionals who are either members of a shrm chapter or members at-large in Alabama. The organization hosts one statewide conference each year and it continues to grow in popularity due to the innovative, timely programs, and the professional development value deliveered to the participants. The council supports Alabama's shrm chapters by providing financial and volunteer resources.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
