Membership in HRATV is by individual, rather than by firm or position, and is non-transferable. HRATV provides five classifications of membership: Professional, Associate, Affiliate, Life and Student.
PROFESSIONAL MEMBERS. Individuals primarily engaged in the profession of Human Resource Management (HRM) who either: a) possess at least three (3) years of experience in HRM at the exempt level; or b) are currently accredited by the Human Resource Certification Institute (HRCI); or c) are faculty members holding assistant to full professorial rank in HRM or any of its specialized functions in an accredited college or university and who possess three (3) years of experience at this level of teaching or equivalent thereof; or d) are full-time consultants with at least three (3) years experience in the field of Human Resource Management. The rights and privileges of Professional Members include the right to vote and hold any office in the Association.
ASSOCIATE MEMBERS. Individuals primarily engaged in non-exempt HRM positions as well as those who do not meet any of the foregoing categories but who are primarily engaged in human resources throughout their current employment. Associate members may vote but may not hold an Officer position in the Association.
