Each year, our Recognition Champion Partners award hundreds of outstanding members of their communities with a local Jeerson Award. Each organization chooses one employee to represent the best of service within their organization as a national Jeerson Award nominee.2023 RECOGNITION CHAMPIONS RECIPIENTS:
DR. KAREN HUDMON - PURDUE UNIVERSITY Losing a mother is unimaginable and for Karen Hudmon, this became her reality aer her mother passed from a hard-fought battle with lung cancer. Dr. Hudmon realized during this time that early interventions in treatment with those associated with tobacco use were more likely to reduce negative outcomes such as the one her mother faced. Through her research, she identied a need to address the gaps in care, especially for individuals from under-resourced communities disproportionately aected by tobacco use. Since then, Dr. Hudmon has spent the last two decades working to create treatments that are sustainable and have signicant societal impact. NORAH NICHOLLS – DELOITTE As a former Junior Achievement student, Norah Nicholls remembers the a-ha moment when exposure to their nancial literacy and other programs sparked her interest in business. Because of that experience, Norah understands the positive impact Junior Achievement’s programs can have on youth, particularly women and those from underserved communities. She is passionate about making this pathway to education available for all young people. Now, as a longtime member of Junior Achievement Northern California’s Board and Executive Committee, Norah helps to ensure their work can continue to inspire and prepare young people for success. Norah has also co-chaired Deloitte’s Bay Area Workplace Giving Campaign that raises over $1 million for local nonprots each year and demonstrates the importance of giving back to our communities. DALE SHEDD – DONEGAL INSURANCE As a Marine Corps veteran and former police ocer, Dale Shedd delivers daily on his promise of being there when it matters most for Donegal’s policyholders. Dale is a beacon within his community and provides his energetic support through his work as the volunteer announcer for Prince Avenue Christian School’s Wolverines varsity sports, and as a volunteer within his church. He nds importance in serving as a role model for youth, specically those who are young athletes and work to help set them on the path to greatness. Those around him have shared that his kind heart and willingness to go the extra mile leave anyone who meets him with a smile.SHARNAE SMITH – BOOZ ALLEN HAMILTON As someone living with Lupus, Sharnae Smith knows all too well the impact this incurable and debilitating disease can have on those living with the same diagnosis. Sharnae chose to turn her pain into purpose and began advocating for those facing hardships related to their Lupus diagnosis. From medical debt and access to vital medications to resources needed for minorities to participate in critical clinical trials, she set out to dedicate her life to advocating and fundraising for better options for her Lupus community. Most recently, Sharnae’s recent lobbying in Congress provided the Lupus Foundation of America and the University of Alabama an opportunity to conduct a clinical trial for African American Lupus patients in Tennessee, Florida, Mississippi, and Kentucky to better understand the eects that medications have on Lupus patients.
