It’s never a “slow time” at EANE. As we prepare to enter one of busiest seasons of the year, we are looking forward to the plethora of reasons to celebrate and connect with the EANE community. From recognizing outstanding member organizations to celebrating Membership Appreciation Month, plus networking events across the region, there are many opportunities to get involved.
Introducing the EANE Workplace Impact Award
This year, EANE is proud to launch the EANE Workplace Impact Award, recognizing member organizations that have tackled real workplace challenges and achieved meaningful results with the support of EANE resources, services, training, or consulting. The award celebrates practical solutions that improve workplaces, whether through stronger leadership, better employee engagement, improved retention, compliance efforts, or organizational change.
Applications are due September 22, and the top three finalists will be invited to share their stories during the EANE Annual Meeting before the award recipient is announced. It’s an opportunity to showcase the innovative work happening within our membership while inspiring others with ideas they can apply in their own organizations.
