Flint Hills SHRM Honored for Elevating HR and Enhancing Workplaces Receives SHRM’s Prestigious 2024 Gold Excel Award
Manhattan, Kansas — May 9, 2024 — SHRM has awarded the 2024 Gold Excel Award to Flint Hills SHRM in recognition of its exceptional work and accomplishments in 2024. This award celebrates the Chapter’s strategic initiatives, innovative programming, and unwavering commitment to elevating the HR profession and improving workplaces across the region.
The Excel Award—given at the Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum levels—is a symbol of excellence in chapter and state council leadership. Honorees are recognized for activities that align with SHRM’s mission to empower people and workplaces by advancing human resource practices and maximizing human potential.
“SHRM’s impact on the world of work is made possible by the dedication and leadership of our chapters and state councils,” said Johnny C. Taylor, Jr., SHRM-SCP, president and chief executive officer of SHRM. “The Gold Excel Award is not only a celebration of the great work done by Flint Hills SHRM it’s recognition of their focus, innovation, and determination to create better workplaces. Their HR leadership is truly exemplary.”
Flint Hills SHRM will receive national recognition through SHRM publications and events, an official award logo for use in communications, and tools to help share this achievement with its members and community.
In 2024, Flint Hills SHRM led several impactful initiatives, including evaluating DMR to support long-term sustainability and enhance the member experience, hosting monthly HR Happy Hour events focused on timely HR topics to drive member engagement, and sponsoring student attendance at the KS SHRM Student Conference in Wichita. These efforts strengthened our connection with future HR leaders and supported the growth and success of HR professionals and organizations across the Flint Hills Region.

HELP KSU SHRM GIVE BACK
We are requesting your assistance. As the KSU SHRM Chapter and the local HRMN Chapter join together for this month’s meeting, we figured this would be a good opportunity to also come together and give back.
The KSU SHRM Chapter has decided to put together military care packages to send overseas. Here is how we, as a Professional Chapter, can help the Student Chapter as well give back to those currently serving our country.
We are requesting donations to help contribute to the care packages. Various items are being sought such as AA/ AAA batteries, USBs, hygiene products (shampoo, deodorant, razors, mouth wash, etc), packaged food (such as protein bars, cookies, crackers, dried fruit, hard candy, nuts but not peanuts), and basic Visa or Mastercard gift cards (for WiFi, food, etc.).
Donations may be brought to the October joint meeting. If you are unable to attend the meeting but would still like to contribute, please reach out to Kaitlynn Bachman, College Relations Liaison, at kaitlynnb@centralnational.com.
All items are needed before November 12th as packages will be compiled then. Any and all donations are greatly appreciated!
