Regional Awards Nomination Instructions

CUPA-HR regions honor their members with a variety of region-based awards, each with their own name and criteria and nomination process. However, CUPA-HR’s Excellence in Human Resource Practices Award is given first on the regional level, with a nominee selected by each regional board and submitted to the national awards committee. The committee then selects an overall winner from the five nominees. Because of that, the Excellence in Human Resource Practices Award criteria is uniform for each region.
