Our world of work is constantly changing. Globalization. Mergers and acquisitions. Restructuring and downsizing. Workforce diversity. Safety and security. Developing and retaining talent. These are just some of the many challenges and opportunities facing organizations today.
Employees are key to meeting strategic objectives. They are the heart of any organization — enabling it to grow and increase in value to shareholders or stakeholders. More and more, organizations view their employees as assets and an investment in the success of the organization. At the same time, employees seek career opportunities, not just a job.
Today’s human resources executive is often among an organization’s strategic leaders – a business partner and guiding force that can help lead your organization through this changing environment.

The Community Service/Corporate Social Responsibility Award promotes the principals of HR leadership taught in the classroom and recognizes the ways that HR can influence and guide organizations in their corporate social responsibilities. This Award is presented in honor of the former president of Marymount University, Sister Eymard Gallagher, RSHM, who led the formation and development of one of the most highly regarded human resources university programs in the region.
The Ethics Award salutes those HR professionals who also strive to put ethics and professionalism first. Presented in honor of CACI Chairman, President and CEO Dr. J.P.
