What is Pay It Forward Membership?
GMA SHRM provides members who are unemployed at the time of their membership renewal a one-time opportunity to extend their membership for up to one year – at no cost. GMA SHRM believes this continued affiliation to our loyal members will help transitioning members stay current on the issues impacting the HR profession and provide them with the needed resources to assist them in their job search.
Who qualifies for Pay It Forward Membership?
Pay It Forward Membership is open to current and former members whose membership would have expired no earlier than 2008. A member must be unemployed at the time he or she applies for Pay It Forward Membership. Student Members do not qualify.
What benefits are included with a Pay It Forward Membership?

Process, Terms and Rules:
- Requests for inclusion in the Pay It Forward membership program can be made by completing and returning the Pay It Forward Membership Request Form.
- In lieu of their annual dues, members are required to volunteer a total of 10 hours OR refer one new member to GMASHRM. Committee meeting hours and attendance at GMA SHRM sponsored events do not count towards volunteer hours.
- Members can “pay it forward” by volunteering to provide HR education to the Wisconsin Women’s Business Initiative Corporation (WWBIC).
