Helena, Montana, March 22, 2016 — The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) recently awarded the Montana SHRM State Council its prestigious EXCEL Gold Award for the Council’s accomplishments in 2015.

 

The award is part of the SHRM Affiliate Program for Excellence, which aligns individual chapters and councils’ activities with SHRM’s aspirations for the HR profession. The award recognizes accomplishments and strategic activities and initiatives that enhance the human resources profession.

 

“SHRM rewards chapters and councils that demonstrate a strong commitment to advancing the human resources profession through service to the community, local networking and professional development activities,” said Henry G.

The EXCEL award can be earned at four levels: bronze, silver, gold and platinum, and each level has a prescribed set of requirements and accomplishments that have to be met. The Montana SHRM State Council will receive recognition in SHRM publications and conferences, a certificate of recognition, and a special banner to display at its meetings and events.

 

“I am extremely proud of our Montana SHRM State Council for our 2015 achievements and am pleased that we have been awarded the EXCEL Gold Award” noted Brooks Robertson, 2015 Montana SHRM State Council President, “Our team worked very hard with human resources professionals across Montana and this award is proof that our efforts and hard work paid off.  Thank you to SHRM National for recognizing our efforts.”
