The Outstanding Chapter Achievement Award honors a chapter member who is not an officer of an affiliated chapter, but whose significant contributions advance the healthcare human resources profession. This exemplary HR leadership in 2022 deserves recognition from ASHHRA. The society believes it is important and worthwhile to recognize an outstanding chapter member who is not in the role of a chapter officer.
