Past Recipients of The George Petitpas Memorial Award
The Georges Petitpas Memorial Award was established in the mid-1980s in memory of Georges Petitpas, a man who contributed significantly to the development and activities of the WFPMA and who died shortly after his nomination to the WFPMA presidency in 1983. The award honors individuals who embody the spirit and dedication to the human resource management profession that Petitpas personified. In particular it recognizes people who have made exemplary contributions to international human resource management and to the achievement of the aims of the WFPMA.

Famous quotes containing the words recipients, memorial and/or award:
“The proclamation and repetition of first principles is a constant feature of life in our democracy. Active adherence to these principles, however, has always been considered un-American. We recipients of the boon of liberty have always been ready, when faced with discomfort, to discard any and all first principles of liberty, and, further, to indict those who do not freely join with us in happily arrogating those principles.”
—David Mamet (b. 1947)
“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)
“The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.”
—Robert Graves (1895–1985)
