From Alaska to Hawaii and points in between, SHRM chapters and State Councils received 2024 Pinnacle Awards for their hard work and creativity in developing HR initiatives. Projects included a program that transitions student members into chapter leaders, help for SHRM Members affected by the devastating Hawaii wildfires, and career development for justice-impacted individuals.
The Pinnacles were awarded Nov. 22 during the SHRM Volunteer Leaders’ Business Meeting (VBLM) in Washington, D.C. They were presented in three categories—Serving the Professional, Advancing the HR Profession, and Enhancing the SHRM Community—and by chapter size. State Councils in each of the three categories also received awards.
