HRMAC is a community of
business professionals with responsibility for, and an interest in, human
capital issues. Individual learning, sharing best practices and professional
growth through volunteerism and leadership have secured HRMAC’s role as the
premier resource for locally-based organizations, regardless of their geographic
reach, industry sector or business structure.
Recognition by one’s peers is
among the highest honors bestowed upon an individual in their professional
career. We welcome your participation as we define excellence, celebrate
contributions and reward leadership.
In 2008, two winners were
selected for the Volunteer of the Year Award: Becky Bacidore, Nicor Inc.
and Lyndy Nierman, SSP-BPI Group.
John E. Rooney,
President and CEO, U.S. Cellular, was recognized with as the 2008 Leader of the

HRMAC Leader of the Year
Award
More than ever before, today’s
workforce must be prepared to support the changing needs of business, and
business must be prepared to support the changing needs of its workforce.
Many strategies are highlighted
in business and consumer publications, ‘best of’ employer lists are compiled,
and accolades are bestowed upon the largest and smallest organizations for
exceptional results.
Behind each of those companies
are singular leaders who had vision, made choices and guided their boards, their
leaders and their workforce to business success by creating an environment that
supports the personal and professional goals of the workforce. It is one of
those leaders who we aim to recognize through this annual award.
It may be an HR leader, a CEO,
a line of business executive, or another senior management executive who has
demonstrated the ability to execute leading-edge human capital practices while
realizing business strategy success.
Among the specific criteria
for a nominee of the Leader of the Year Award:
• Generally recognize a body of
work, not limited to a single year.
• Provides outstanding service
to and accomplishments in the field of Human Resources and business, in general.
• Recognized as a thought

HRMAC Volunteer of the Year
Award
Volunteers have always been the
secret formula in HRMAC’s 90+ year journey. Founded by a handful of local
personnel directors in the early 1900s, our volunteer roster now includes over
150 member representatives annually. There are scores more who never make it to
the official lists, but provide mission-critical support for the exceptional
experience members enjoy with every HRMAC encounter.
This award is designed to
recognize such commitment and passion. Whether a committee volunteer, a group
chair, an expert who has shared their wisdom in an extraordinary manner, or a
behind-the-scenes wizard who creates magic, this is our chance to shine the
spotlight on one who makes a difference without asking for anything in return.
Among the specific criteria
for a nominee of the Volunteer of the Year Award:
• Long-term, multi-faceted
volunteer service to HRMAC, primarily through committee service or similar
contributions.
• Provides distinguished
service in helping to further the HRMAC mission.
• Considered an “unsung hero”
who goes “above and beyond the call of duty.”
• Displays the highest
standards of professional ethics.
• Must be an employee of a
HRMAC member company.
