Nevada Association of Employers awards Loretta Prentice of Cashell Enterprises HR Professional of the Year
The Nevada Association of Employers is proud to announce Loretta Prentice, PHR, Human Resources Director of Cashell Enterprises, Inc., as the 2024 HR Professional of the Year. This award was presented June 21 at the Nevada Employers Conference.
NAE invites members and attendees annually to nominate outstanding HR professionals. "We've been hosting this conference for 7 years now and it is always the highlight of every year to be able to honor the exemplary HR leaders we have here in Nevada," says Thoran Towler, CEO of Nevada Association of Employers.
Prentice was nominated by HR Manager Courtney Starks, her successor, who will take over upon Prentice’s retirement at the end of the year.
Since starting in 2006, Prentice built the HR department from the ground up and has ensured excellence and safety for all employees over the past 17 years. “She oversees the entire scope of HR, from onboarding to safety. Anyone that meets her can see that she embodies Human Resources,” says Starks.
Prentice has created all company safety manuals, employee handbooks, and HR policies. Starks adds, “She is an example of patience, class, empathy, tolerance, and consistency. She deserves this recognition as a leader in excellence.”
Prentice will retire at the end of the year, and is looking forward to gardening and spending time with her husband.
NAE also congratulates the other nominees: Megan Enyeart of CRBR, Silvia Garcia-Tinoco of Hamilton Company, Heather Sawyer of American International Tooling, and Sheila Van Deusen from North Sails.
