We congratulate the following nominees for making the slate:

The willingness of these candidates to volunteer their time to give back to the 300+ HRIA member companies is welcomed.  The ability to take off company and personal hats to work for the good of entire HRIA membership and not for personal gain is one of the most honorable traits a select committee member holds.  We are pleased to have their interest, dedication and support in this unique alliance.

Each HRIA company will be asked to vote for six of these exceptional dedicated individuals, we wish all candidates well with their election campaign.
