Blog Post: Celebrating Workforce Diversity During Diversity Awareness Month

There was much to celebrate last week at the Diversity Leadership Alliance Conference, including the  winners and finalists recognized by the State Council for the Arizona State Society of Human Resources Management Association.  AZSHRM is proud to once again honor companies, organizations and individuals for their 2009 diversity and inclusion efforts in the workplace and beyond.  This was the award’s eighth year and many of the past winners were in attendance at the conference to recognize this year's winners as well.

AZSHRM partnered again this year with the Diversity Leadership Alliance and Jobing.com.  There were many wonderful nominations this year who should all be proud of the great work that is being done. 

Over 900 business and community leaders were present on October 22 for the awards ceremony at the Phoenix Downtown Sheraton when the winners were first announced.
