SHRM recently awarded the Human Resources Association of Southern Maryland its prestigious EXCEL Gold Award for HRASM’s accomplishments in 2023.

The EXCEL Award is given to state councils and chapters to recognize major accomplishments, strategic activities, and tactical initiatives that elevate the profession of human resources.

“SHRM’s impact on the world of work is due to the dedication and efforts of our chapters and state councils like HRASM. “The Gold EXCEL Award is not only a celebration of the great work done by HRASM—it’s also recognition of their focus and determination to cause the effect to make great workplaces”, said Johnny C. Taylor, Jr., SHRM-SCP, president, and chief executive officer of SHRM. “Their HR leadership is exemplary.”

The EXCEL Award can be earned at four levels: bronze, silver, gold, and platinum. Each level has a prescribed set of requirements and accomplishments that must be met.
