Infohrm’s iLab raises almost $3000 for Guide Dogs Queensland

2008 Workforce Planning Survey

Infohrm CEO Awarded Life Fellowship of AHRI 
Infohrm CEO Peter Howes was awarded Life Fellowship of the Institute...
At the Australian Human Resources Institute (AHRI) Leaders' Dinner at the AHRI National Convention in June, Infohrm CEO Peter Howes was awarded Life Fellowship of the Institute. This is the highest award determined by AHRI, which requires a nomination by a Regional Council and a resolution of the AHRI board of directors. Peter joins a select and illustrious group of Life Fellows.
The award recognises Peter's significant contribution to the HR profession and AHRI over the last 25 plus years. While Peter was unable to accept the award in person, on being advised of it, he was overwhelmed and humbled to be recognized by his peers in this way. The award will be presented to him at a dinner with the Governor of Queensland in Brisbane at the end of July.
Infohrm staff join with the HR profession in congratulating Peter on this outstanding achievement.
