“So much of SHRM’s impact on the world of work can be traced back to the dedication and hard work of our chapters and state councils like Sarasota-Manatee HR Association. These leaders took the initiative and drove changes to make workplaces where employers and employees can thrive together. The BRONZE EXCEL AWARD is not only a celebration of the great work done by SHRA, its also a recognition of the grit it took to do it.” – Johnny C. Taylor, SHRM-SCP, President and CEO of SHRM
