Award of Excellence and the Pacesetter Award Program

The Minnesota Public Employer Labor Relations Association (MPELRA) has created a new program to acknowledge the accomplishments of its members.

EXCELLENCE IN LABOR RELATIONS AWARD This annual award is to be given to individuals who during their career have made an outstanding contribution to management's role in public sector labor relations. The Excellence in Labor Relations Award represents MPELRA's highest acknowledgement of the recipient's dedication and achievement in the development of positive labor-management relations. It signifies professional efforts resulting in successful labor relations over an extended period of time.

THE PACESETTER AWARD This annual award is presented to individuals or organizations that have demonstrated particularly innovative leadership in public sector labor relations. The PACESETTER AWARD recognizes those individuals, who, through their professional achievements, have successfully developed a new tool or technique for use in resolving conflicts, addressing new challenges or assisting others in their growth in public sector labor relations and human resources. PACESETTERS are role models who serve as resources to others in the field.

Awards will be presented each year at the MPELRA Winter conference.

Take the initiative today and nominate a leader in your organization!
