The NCSHRM State Council Crown Awards Program is an annual recognition program honoring the highest achievements in state chapter development and contributions that Advance the Profession and Serve the Professional. Chapters enter the competition by submitting an innovative project created and implemented by the chapter during the award period (January 2011-December 2011), and special consideration is given to successful programs that are readily transferable to other chapters. The Award is open to any North Carolina SHRM-affiliated chapter.
Deadline for submission: July 15 of each year for prior year's programs.
Distinguished Professional Chapter(s) of the Year Award
The NCSHRM State Council supports SHRM goals and objectives for Professional Chapters and Professional Members by recognizing North Carolina SHRM-affiliated chapters that have achieved excellence in the SHRM Affiliate Program for Excellence (SHAPE). SHRM outlines a plan of action for success through the SHAPE program and recognizes the performance of Chapters by awarding tiered awards. To further support and recognize those Professional Chapters that meet the criteria outlined by the Society, the State Council recognizes all Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum Award winners as distinguished Professional Chapters provided they also adhere to the a few additional expectations.
Recipients determined based on submission of SHAPE in timely manner, attendance/participation at State Council meetings, and submission of articles or chapter chatter to NC Review Magazine. Announcement of Award winning chapters occurs at the NCSHRM State Conference.
