Dallas HR Earns its Fourth Pinnacle Award

DallasHR is proud to be a 2014 SHRM Pinnacle Award winner for its Executive Breakfast Series (EBS), a program created in 2012 specifically for the association’s (approximately) 200 member executives.

Leaders from across the organization were present at SHRM's Volunteer Leaders' Summit in Washington, D.C., to accept the honor.

The Pinnacle Awards highlight innovative activities, programs or initiatives that transcend normal SHRM affiliate chapter operations. As a recipient, DallasHR is receiving national recognition for its outstanding achievement – an accomplishment the organization has been bestowed three other times. EBS was designed to support a growing need among DallasHR’s member executives, providing a channel for them to interact directly with their peers about best practices for handling critical situations, solutions for executing critical business initiatives, and tactics for relevant problem resolution. The program affords strategic education and networking opportunities in a non-competitive/non-threatening, small-group environment, allowing local connection and support at their unique levels. Participation in the group is by invitation-only and limited to only 30 attendees per meeting. The executive members are primarily an under-served group within most HR chapters, but EBS allows DallasHR a method of meeting their needs that has continued to be successful and sustained for more than two years.
