The Western Region IPMA-HR Board has created an awards program to recognize agencies and individuals who are stars within IPMA-HR. The Awards Program includes The Muriel M. Morse Achievement Award and the Agency Awards for Excellence.

The Muriel M. Morse Achievement Award is presented to a member of our organization who exemplifies the positive attributes that made Muriel Morse a memorable individual.

The Agency Awards for Excellence Award Criteria will be based on program initiatives, accomplishments, and contributions within a three-year period immediately preceding the nomination. A maximum of four awards may be given in one year. The Western Region will recognize one agency award in each of the following categories, based on the number of employees covered by your human resources program:
• Small (Under 500 employees)
• Medium (500 – 1,999 employees)
• Large Agency (2,000 – 9,999 employees)
• Very Large (10,000 employees and over)
