The SHRM Foundation, in partnership with USAA, is proud to announce the launch of the Everyday Hero Award—a new recognition honoring Veterans who have transitioned into the civilian workforce and become invaluable contributors to their organizations. This initiative reinforces that every Veteran brings a unique mix of education, experience, skills, and leadership to the workforce and deserves recognition for their contributions.
Do you know a Veteran in your workplace who exemplifies leadership, resilience, and excellence?
Now is your chance to celebrate their impact. We’re inviting HR professionals, hiring managers or business leaders to submit nominations for Veterans who may have separated as enlisted personnel or with a shorter tenure, but who are making a big difference in their civilian roles.
Here’s what you need to know:
- 10 Veterans will be featured in a high-visibility display at SHRM’s 2025 Annual Conference in San Diego, CA.
- 1 Everyday Hero Award winner will be honored live at SHRM25 Annual Conference, alongside their nominating HR professional.
- The submission deadline is May 16, 2025.
Let’s elevate the stories of these impactful professionals and highlight the critical value Veterans bring to the workforce:
This award is a wonderful way to celebrate the everyday heroes who continue to serve through their commitment to excellence at work. Submit your nomination now to recognize the Everyday Heroes in your circle!
