There are various ways to describe the practice of innovation and what it should mean to leaders in business and industry, but it’s often a subject that leaders find hard to address.

Emmy-Award Speaker Coming to Payroll Congress

There are various ways to describe the practice of innovation and what it should mean to leaders in business and industry, but it's often a subject that leaders find hard to address.

Referring to award-winning motivational speaker Pegine Echevarria simply as “positive” would be an understatement, especially if you’d ever attended any of her amazing workshops and seen first-hand how the audience responds and hangs onto every inspiring and thought-provoking word.

The APA honored 10 exceptional individuals with Meritorious Services Awards for their leadership and outstanding service to the Association. The awards were presented during the 40th Annual Payroll Congress Awards General Session on May 11.

Catherine Honey, who serves as Vice President of Solutions Consulting and HCM Ecosystems Alliances for Safeguard Global in Boston, was chosen as the Global Payroll Management Institute’s (GPMI) 2022 Global Vision Award recipient.

Paying it forward while becoming even more highly skilled payroll professionals were the goals the two recipients of the APA’s 2022 Payroll Education Grant packages set for themselves when they applied earlier this year.
