Executives and managers from TRSA operator and supplier-partner member companies are encouraged to publicly praise their own staffs, individual employees and/or industry colleagues by nominating them for TRSA’s 2022 Annual Industry Awards. Nominations will be accepted through Dec. 31.
Recipients benefit from credibility with customers, prospects and employees. Individuals who nominated in previous years have noted the ease of the online nomination process and the variety of opportunities to urge TRSA to honor their people (or anyone else they nominated) for industry-leading performance or effort. There is no application or nomination fee.
The 2022 accolades will be presented at a March 30 dinner at the 12th Annual Legislative Conference in Washington, DC. Award winners receive discounted registration for the conference or complimentary registration for the dinner.
The following Annual Awards are open to all operator and supplier-partner members. Multiple companies and individuals may be honored in the same award category and companies can win in more than one category.
