BV-SHRM presented the Building Value with HR Excellence Award to Philip Beard, who received a commemorative plaque and a $250 donation made on his behalf to the SHRM Foundation.

Philip currently serves as the Director of Human Resources for Lynntech in College Station. He has been with the organization in this capacity for more than two years. Philip was nominated by John Clanton, the company's CEO, who wrote that "our HR Director has a policy of ‘my door is always open.' He wants employees to feel they can stop by and discuss anything with him ... He also operates with the ‘how can I make this system or procedure better' for employees ... He always goes above and beyond to figure out a game plan to help all of our employees be as happy and as productive as possible."

In addition to his professional position, Philip has been a long-time member of BV-SHRM, holds the SPHR (Senior Professional in Human Resources) certification, and takes every opportunity to mentor other HR professionals in their careers.

Other nominees included: Kari Griffin-French with the City of Bryan, Michelle Merritt with University Title Company, Christina Patterson with Otis Instruments, and Renee Weidemann with the Division of Research at Texas A&M University.
