Diversity & Inclusion Excellence to be Celebrated at 19th Annual Northeast Human Resources Association (NEHRA) Gala May 8, 2014, Boston ~ Student Scholarships to be Given
Concord, MA, March 22, 2014 --(PR.com)-- After nearly two decades of spotlighting diversity and inclusion achievements in Boston-area workplaces, the Northeast Human Resources Association (NEHRA) will once again bring together area business leaders, accomplished students, and HR professionals for their annual D&I Gala. The event will take place on May 8, 2014 beginning at 5:30 PM at the Renaissance Boston Waterfront Hotel.
As the leading HR professional organization in the Northeast, the D&I Gala is just a part of NEHRA’s year round-efforts to provide education, support and relationship brokering that promotes diversity and inclusion on the job. Their 2,000+ membership represents over 1,000 organizations that help drive Northeast career opportunities and economic health across the technology, finance, biotech, healthcare, energy and higher education industries.
During the D&I Gala, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care will be recognized as the 2014 NEHRA Diversity Champion for their outstanding work in fostering inclusion with their employees, members and communities they serve. Well-known Boston media and communications expert Liz Brunner will keynote the event.
The biggest stars of the evening, however, will be 2 local students (to be announced) that will each receive a $3,000 college scholarship in celebration of their academic achievement, strong community service, and overall dedication to promoting harmony among diverse groups.
“The crowd favorite is always the student winners. They inspire and awe us with their amazing accomplishments at such a young age and give us hope that Boston will continue to become a more and more positive place to live and work long into the future,” said Tracy Burns, CEO of NEHRA. “We also enjoy getting together as an HR community to applaud those companies, like Harvard Pilgrim Health Care who have gone above and beyond diversity mandates to make opportunity and access an imperative for business success.”
Cocktails, Dinner and music will be part of this special night and tables are on sale now. For further information please contact Megan McCarthy, NEHRA’s Project Coordinator at 781-239-8709 or mmccarthy@nehra.com.
