Established in the 1940's as the Tucson Personnel Club to understand the professional requirements of staff administrators in Southern Arizona. The club expanded in 1971 and became affiliated with the American Society for Personnel Administration. In 1983 the name was changed to the Tucson Personnel Association and in 1989 was known as the Society for Human Resource Management of Greater Tucson (SHRM-GT) which firmly aligned the group with the national organization.
