2008 HR Rising Stars Nomination Form

Deadline for Submissions: January 25, 2008

In its third annual competition, Human Resource Executive® magazine is, once again, looking for HR professionals near the top of their organization's human resource function who have demonstrated leadership in their current position, the ability to successfully launch significant HR initiatives and programs, and the ability to tackle major HR-related challenges.

To be considered, candidates must either be leading--but not senior-most---HR executives of their organizations or the heads of major HR disciplines--staffing, training and development, benefits and compensation, etc..

They must have a minimum of four years experience in HR or a related profession and one year of experience in their current organization. Those presently in the senior-most HR position of an organization or operating company/unit do not qualify for consideration.

Nominations will be accepted from the candidate's supervisor (i.e., senior HR executive) or other executives or officers at a similar level of the organization or higher.

Consultants and those associated with supplier organizations are also invited to submit nominations. Candidates may also nominate themselves, but must separately submit a letter of recommendation from their supervisor (i.e., senior HR executive).

Recommendation letter should be e-mailed separately to hreletters@lrp.com with "HR Rising Stars Letter of Recommendation" in the subject line.

A panel of judges assembled by Human Resource Executive® will review the submissions and select the 2008 Rising Stars.

Winners will be recognized in an upcoming edition of Human Resource Executive®.
