Volunteer Opportunities
We are a 100% volunteer 501(c)3 non-profit focused on providing local HR education and resources. Let’s collaborate and brainstorm innovative ways to inspire and educate our HR community. Together, we can make a positive impact. Join us in this exciting journey to make a difference in HR education in the Central Valley.
We have Board and Committee level roles, so you can assist according to your desired level of participation. Have an idea not listed below? Contact us to discuss: President@cvhrma.org
If you are SHRM Certified, you can earn PDCs towards recertification by holding a volunteer role. See page 8 of the SHRM recertification handbook.
Would you like to share your expertise with our membership?
We hold in-person events each month and are seeking speakers to present to local human resources attendees.
About the topics we are considering, we recently did a survey of our membership to find out the HR topics they are interested in.
Why join the CVHRMA Board?
Grow your professional network – Be part of an opportunity to meet influential, intelligent and well-connected people – in the local Modesto HR community.
Gain exposure and insight – Access to the inner workings of an organization, including our members, to enhance your marketability.
Strengthen your credibility – Raise your professional profile among your peers.
Increased visibility – Elevate your professional reputation amongst our members.
Open Board Positions
To ensure knowledge is transferred, we are accepting applications for Elect positions – those who will learn from and assist the current Director, with the intent of taking over the Director’s position at the end of the term.
The following Elect positions are available:
* President Elect
* Treasurer Elect
* Education Director Elect
* Technology Director Elect
* Membership Director Elect
* Communications Director Elect
As the Central Valley’s SHRM chapter, it’s important we have a professional brand. This is a flexible position that would oversee outreach initiatives to ensure consistent messaging, design, and values across our communications channels. The Marketing Director would possibly be involved with:
* Creating local strategic relationships (for example)
* Spearheading our effort to bring in Sponsors.
* Reviewing and refine our use of social media and email.
* Collaborating with our other directors (Communication, Education, Membership) to ensure a professional and consistent brand.
and anything else you believe would propel our chapter forward! We welcome your suggestions.
As a 501(c)3 non-profit, we need to say current with legal obligations and we could use the help of someone experienced with non-profits. Below are the main areas we need assistance:
* Updating our By-laws with our new name and new board positions
* Creating a Conflict of Interest to cover issues like membership data
* Ensuring we follow “Robert’s Rules of Order”
… and anything else needed to proactively stay in good standing.
This is a low effort position as legal issues come up rarely, but when they do, we would be grateful to refer to someone knowledgable.
Open Committee Positions
Why become a CVHRMA Committee Member?
Give back – You may only have a few hours per month, but serving on a committee can make a big difference.

Students need experience and we’re willing to find ways to get them involved in the local HR community. If you have connections to local colleges/universities, we could use your assistance.
