Memorial Awards
The Georges Petitpas Memorial Award was established in the mid-1980s in memory of Georges Petitpas. The award honours individuals who embody the spirit and dedication to the human resource management profession which Petitpas personified. In particular it recognises people who have made exemplary contributions to international human resource management and to the achievement of the aims of the WFPMA.
The Georges Petitpas Scholarship was established by the American Society for Personnel Administration, its International Chapter, and Petitpas’ colleagues at Cresap, McCormick, and Paget and Towers, Perrin, Forester and Crosby in honor of Petitpas for second-year MBA students at the Darden School of Business, University of Virginia, whose interests are personnel management of international business. The scholarship awards ranged from $2500–$3000. The scholarship was awarded each year until 1999.

Famous quotes containing the word memorial:
“I hope there will be no effort to put up a shaft or any monument of that sort in memory of me or of the other women who have given themselves to our work. The best kind of a memorial would be a school where girls could be taught everything useful that would help them to earn an honorable livelihood; where they could learn to do anything they were capable of, just as boys can. I would like to have lived to see such a school as that in every great city of the United States.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
