Seven professional chapters and two state councils were awarded the coveted 2011 Pinnacle Award for focusing on issues such as homelessness, the midterm elections and workplace diversity.
Our very own, San Antonio Human Resource Management Association received a Pinnacle award for their program: "Overcoming Homelessness Through Employment Readiness." This program allowed chapter members to teach interviewing skills and conducted mock interviews with homeless people trying to re-enter the workforce. This program involved collaboration with Haven for Hope and SAMMinistries. Haven for Hope is a nonprofit organization that provides job training, education and behavioral health services. SAMMinistries provides shelter and other services to the homeless and persons at risk of becoming homeless.
Congratulations San Antonio!
