Most members' concerns about the new certifications have more to do with how they were rolled out than the products themselves. When we join an organization, it becomes part of our identity. Many of us feel diminished by SHRM's negative rhetoric about HRCI, its lack of collaboration with volunteers and members in the development process, its give-away roll-out, and now the carrot-and-stick chapter strong arming that you mention here. You can also add the restrictive, exclusive contracts it is signing with universities that prevent them from teaching for HRCI's exams. I have confidence that SHRM's certifications will be quality products. But my feelings about being a SHRM member and former SHRM leader have definitely changed. Well said, Bradley.
