Chapter Committees
SHRM Tulsa has seven active committees working together to make our organization even better for our members and the community.
Have questions or interested in getting involved? Fill out our committee interest form below.
Diversity & Inclusion
The Diversity & Inclusion Committee is responsible for monitoring and evaluating local activities concerning diversity issues. The committee will lead the efforts towards increasing diversity in the chapter's membership and to publicize successful diversity programs in the local community. In addition, the committee will continually develop and/or distribute information and materials to chapter members to promote diversity in the workplace. This committee is also responsible for planning ROI every other year.
Education
The Education Committee is responsible for planning and coordinating the HR Exchange for SHRM Tulsa. The HR Exchange is where Tulsa’s HR leaders connect, learn, and lead together. These quarterly sessions dive deep into real-world challenges and solutions, giving fresh insights, expert guidance, and practical tools you can apply right away. The Committee meets once or twice per year to decide on the topics (based on member input & suggestions). Committee members help secure the speakers and facilitate the HR Exchange
Legislative Affairs
The Legislative Affairs Committee is responsible for monitoring and evaluating pending legislative, regulatory and legal action at the federal, state and local level that may have an impact on the management of human resources. The committee then presents the legislative report or update to the board of directors and fellow members as appropriate. SHRM Tulsa's Annual Legislative Conference is planned by this Committee.
Membership & Hospitality
The Membership & Hospitality Committee is responsible for reaching out to HR professionals or SHRM members who are not currently SHRM Tulsa members, conducting new member orientation, creating fun ways to increase membership and highlight current members through meetings, newsletters, etc. The committee is also responsible for setting up a hospitality table at program meetings to greet new members, pair new members with board members and/or seasoned SHRM Tulsa members and taking the pulse of current member satisfaction.
Programs
The Programs Committee is responsible for providing quality programs monthly for the chapter membership. The committee selects topics and speakers for program meetings, secures speakers and makes arrangements, writes articles for the newsletter describing the programs and ensures that program meetings run smoothly. This committee meets 3-4 times per year to coordinate programs.
Registration
The Registration Committee leads the registration process at each program meeting and learning lab, collects appropriate fees, distributes name badges, disseminates program handouts, directs members and guests and arrives 30 minutes early to each meeting. This is a fun committee which allows committee members to greet and interact with SHRM Tulsa members and guests.
Special Projects - Mental Health Initiatives
The Special Projects Committee advances SHRM Tulsa initiatives that support the evolving needs of our membership.
Our work focuses on how HR’s unique vantage point informs mental well-being in the workplace. Because HR professionals see how resources are used, where gaps exist, and where employees may still be struggling, this committee turns those insights into practical initiatives that strengthen supportive, healthy work environments.
We’re kicking off with a June Mental Health Panel + Table Discussion that will gather real‑time insights to guide this topic’s programing for the rest of the year.
We offer flexible involvement, so you can participate in a way that fits your schedule and strengths. Whether you enjoy brainstorming, helping with events, facilitating discussions, or lending your voice and skillsets, there’s a place for your involvement here.
Come help us build initiatives that support HR professionals and enhance well-being across Tulsa workplaces.
