NAHR Fellows Class of 2026
The NAHR was delighted to honor its newest Fellows, the Class of 2026 at its annual Gala and Induction Ceremony last night at the Conrad New York Downtown in NYC. NAHR welcomed 325 guests to the black tie event. Earlier in the day, it hosted almost 40 master's students to workshop current HR issues and hosted 65 Fellows, CHROs, Grand Sponsors and HR executives at its Annual Symposium. Congratulations to Pam Kimmet, Distinguished Fellow, and to the nine newest Fellows, Bradford Bell, Jacqui Canney, Heidi Capozzi, Stephanie Franklin, Laura Fuentes, Ani Huang, Stephanie Lundquist, John Whelan, and Jacqueline Williams-Roll.
Mirian Graddick-Weir, a member of the NAHR Fellow Class of 2001, Distinguished Fellow since 2016 and the NAHR Board’s Distinguished Fellow liaison, welcomed Pamela O. Kimmet as the Academy’s eighteenth Distinguished Fellow. “The Distinguished Fellows are delighted to recognize Pam for this honor,” she said. “Throughout her career as Chief Human Resources Officer at Manulife and Cardinal Health, and while at Coca-Cola Enterprises, Bear Stearns and Lucent Technologies, she has broadly helped shape policy and advance the HR profession far beyond the reach of her organizations.”
Our Chair of the Board, Christy Pambianchi, said it best at our annual black-tie gala in Manhattan,
“Becoming an NAHR Fellow reflects an exceptional record of leadership and contribution to the HR profession.”
It was such an honor for our current Fellowship to celebrate them in the company of their teams, colleagues, and families. And, what a delight to host the HR master’s students and NAHR Scholarship recipients at our event. The future is bright in their hands.
