From the Community: Why this Nominee Stands Out
To be considered for the CRCAs, individuals had to be nominated by a peer, manager, colleague, or direct report. This quote was shared by the person who nominated this person for recognition, highlighting the impact and excellence they’ve demonstrated.
“Nichole has been instrumental in the success of Early Careers recruiting for the Pacific region. Under her leadership and successful strategies our region has thrived. She goes above and beyond to make sure the team has all the support and resources needed to succeed. She always takes the time to check-in with everyone to make sure we're also taking care of our wellbeing.
