The award is based on overall achievement and contribution to the HR Profession during the previous 12-18 month period. An Awards and Recognition Committee which is selected by the State Council selects the recipient from among the nominations.

Vicki Price, President of the Raleigh-Wake Human Resources Management Association (RWHRMA) said that, "The award is given to the professional who exemplifies all that we hope to be as HR professionals-commitment, knowledge, involvement and dedication to the profession…[Sharp] is very

deserving of this honor." The RWHRMA submitted Sharp for the award; Kristy Eubanks, former President of RWHRMA, wrote the nomination. She included in their nomination that, "I believe that Jan's work in the HR profession and in the HR community is exemplary. She should be recognized as the 'NC Professional of the Year' winner."

Sharp's career in Human Resources has spanned 15 years. She holds a Lifetime Certification as a Senior Professional in Human Resources. She has served in leadership roles in the RWHRMA and on the NC State Council.

SHRM is the world's largest human resource management association with over 145,000 members throughout the world, with over 3,000 members in North Carolina.
