Congratulations to Rene McComber from the Vancouver Aquarium and Diane Sullivan of BC Safety Authority on receiving one of the BC Human Resources Management Association's (BC HRMA) Professional Awards 2010.
Rene McComber is the recipient of the Rising Star Award, which recognizes and publicly honours a BCHRMA member who is "lighting the HR community on fire". McComber was nominated for her work as an HR Advisor at the Vancouver Aquarium and was chosen as this year's winner due to her considerate input into the organization's HR functions, especially at such an early point in her career. In addition, McComber is being recognized for her efforts toward increased staff engagement and cost savings for the Aquarium.
Award of Excellence: HR Professional of the Year went to Diane Sullivan for her work on transforming the former arm of the provincial government into an independent, self-supporting entity with strong entrepreneurial traits. Working with the executive team, Sullivan led the culture change initiative, and not only revitalized the role of HR, but yielded numerous organizational improvements. The HR Professional of the Year award is given to an individual who contributes to an organization by achieving significant business results, and by demonstrating exceptional leadership both as a personal and professional role model.
