Massachusetts Municipal Human Resources is accepting nominations for its annual Emil S. Skop Award, given in recognition of outstanding contributions made to the field of municipal human resources management.
Nominations will be accepted from MMHR members, human resources colleagues, municipal chief administrative officers, municipal personnel/human resources boards, officials of state human resources-related agencies, and other related entities.
The nomination deadline is Sept. 20. The award will be presented at the MMHR Labor Relations Seminar on Oct. 25 in Devens.
Skop was one of the founding members of the Massachusetts Municipal Personnel Association (renamed MMHR in 2019) and served as its first executive secretary. Before “networking” became a recognizable term, Skop acknowledged the value of sharing information and experiences with other human resources and labor relations professionals, and was recognized for his tireless efforts in this area.
The award criteria and nomination form have been sent to members of MMHR and the Massachusetts Municipal Management Association, and the Google form is available online.
