Member dues provide support for CHRM’s pre-conference in coordination with LSA’s Annual Conference (an opportunity to meet and learn from colleagues who know and understand your professional needs from a social ministry perspective), opportunities to meet regionally to address common concerns with other LSA affinity networks (such as the meeting in Louisville with the Lutheran Information Technology Network (LITN)), access to CHRM’s website and membership where resources and quick solutions to everyday issues can be shared, and pride in being a “People Helping People Helping People” kind of person.

- Provides professional networking opportunities
- Builds partnerships with LSA for purposes of consulting, advising and facilitating excellence in human resource management
