Lancaster Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), in partnership with Steinman Communications and LNP Media Group, has announced a new scholarship, the Debbie Stremmel Memorial Scholarship. The annual scholarship will provide financial support to a Lancaster County student pursuing a career in a trade/technical field and provide financial assistance to the student's home school district for career exploration programming, new technology or innovations. A $1,500 award will go to a student for postsecondary tuition or education-related expenses, and a $1,000 award will be presented to the student's school district for trade/technical career exploration programming. Applications must be received or postmarked by Saturday, April 3, to be considered for this award.

Debbie Stremmel was born and raised in Lancaster County. She held the position of LNP Media Group recruitment solutions supervisor and was a member of Society for Human Resource Management her entire career, participating at the local and national levels. Most recently she was the co-chair of Lancaster SHRM's Workforce Readiness Committee and had been elected to the board.

Her expertise in recruitment marketing was born from experience working on local, regional, national and international platforms. An early adopter of new technology, Stremmel championed the use of labor statistics and data to build new technology tools to simplify and strengthen recruitment campaigns to attract the most qualified candidates. Stremmel wanted students to understand their options and learn to match their talents to lifelong careers, not just jobs.

Lancaster SHRM is an affiliate chapter of the Society for Human Resource Management, a professional membership organization dedicated exclusively to the advancement of human resource management.

With more than 400 members representing more than 100 organizations, Lancaster SHRM has been a resource for networking and the exchange of information in Lancaster County for over 60 years. The Debbie Stremmel Memorial Scholarship supports Lancaster SHRM's mission of inspiring people and advancing workplaces by collaborating with Lancaster schools, students and businesses.
