Excellence in Human Resources Awards
C2HR is dedicated to shining the light on the achievements of the human resources professionals throughout the technology, media and entertainment industry. Since 2007, our Excellence in Human Resources Awards program has provided an industry-wide forum to celebrate the success of individuals and companies within our membership community. This year, the Awards Committee has made important enhancements to the awards program: the addition of the Social Impact Award, the shift to a fast and convenient online award nomination form, and the commitment to present two Team Innovator Awards: one to a content delivery provider (MSO, satellite or telecommunications company) and one to a content developer (digital content creator, cable programmer and broadcast network).
