Louisiana SHRM State Council Receives Distinguished Award

The Society for Human Resource Management has awarded the Louisiana SHRM State Council the EXCEL Bronze Award for 2010. 

The SHRM Affiliate Program for Excellence (SHAPE) has been designed to ensure a strong connection between SHRM and our affiliated state councils from a business perspective.  In addition to clearly outlining our requirements to measure state council alignment and engagement with SHRM’s overall objectives, SHAPE’s focus has shifted to activities and initiatives which are more strategic in nature.  These efforts will allow each affiliated state council to increase its viability and effectiveness, as well as promote HR profession at the state level.  This new program raises the bar of excellence for our affiliates and introduces the EXCEL Awards – a tiered recognition and awards system.

“This recognition is a distinct indication of the state council’s successful partnership with SHRM to serve the networking and professional development needs of human resource professionals and to the advancement of the human resources profession” noted Pamela J. Green, SPHR, Chief U.S. Membership Officer for SHRM.
