PHILADELPHIA, April 1, 2013—Duane Morris LLP is pleased to announce that Temple University's Fox School of Business and Management has named Duane Morris partner Jonathan Segal the recipient of its "Outstanding HR Leader of 2013" award. Segal, a partner in the firm's Employment, Labor, Benefits and Immigration Practice Group and the managing principal of the Duane Morris Institute, will accept the award at the Fox School's Human Resource Management (HRM) Awards Banquet on April 12, 2013.
The award recognizes an individual who promotes progressive HR practices and is committed to advancing the profession through educating current and future HR leaders. Segal is the first recipient.
"The Fox School has a sterling international reputation and the creation of this award recognizing the importance of the human resources field demonstrates their forward thinking," said Segal. "This is a tremendous honor, and I am humbled to receive it from an institution for which I have such great respect. I also would like to thank the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), from which I have learned a great deal and which always has welcomed and treated me as a peer with HR professionals."
Established in 1918, Temple University's Fox School of Business and Management has a distinguished tradition of preparing business leaders, professionals and entrepreneurs for successful careers.
