Utah SHRM Excellence Awards — nomination submission page
Help us recognize those HR Professionals who elevate workplaces across Utah.
Join Utah SHRM for the Utah SHRM Excellence Awards as we recognize the "unsung heros" and celebrate the internal HR professionals who do the "daily grind" within their organization to keep them running smoothly across Utah.
This special evening will honor HR professionals, and emerging HR talent who are making a meaningful impact in their workplaces and communities. Whether you are attending to support a colleague, or recognize the incredible work being done throughout the profession — we invite you to be part of this memorable event.
Finalists from across the state will be recognized, and award recipients will be announced during an evening of celebration, networking, and professional recognition.
And great people are often supported by exceptional HR professionals.
Honoring individuals and organizations that exemplify leadership, innovation, service, and excellence in HR.
An evening dedicated to the people who make HR great. Celebration, networking, and professional recognition.
