Non profit resources: Staying abreast of the latest trends

There is a continuous influx of changes to the laws and best practices related to non profit organizations and human resource management. Therefore, it’s important to stay abreast of the latest trends and recommendations issued from credible human and non profit resource associations in order to maintain compliance and give your organization the inside track to successful human resource management.

To achieve this, an indispensable resource is membership to human resource and non profit associations such as SHRM (Society for Human Resource Management), the Georgia Center for Nonprofits, or similar groups.

Non profit resources: Association benefits

Membership with industry associations provide access to best HR practices, trade shows, trade publications, and online resources aimed at keeping you current on employment practices and other non profit issues. For example, many HR associations publish wage and benefit reports that can be used to determine competitive compensation packages for vacant or newly developed positions. Other association membership benefits include access to other non profit resources, such as:

• Conferences


• Research


• Professional development courses


• Publications


• Industry forums


• Networking

The benefits of every professional association vary, therefore, we encourage you to research the services offered and their associated costs before becoming a member.
