Recognizing emerging HR leadership in Northern Nevada
We’re proud to share that in December, LP’s Makayla Batsford was honored with the HR Rising Star Award at the Northern Nevada Human Resources Association (NNHRA) HR All Star Awards, part of the SHRM Northern Nevada community.
This recognition reflects Makayla’s dedication to creating workplaces where people feel engaged, valued, and connected—values at the heart of LP’s mission to protect and empower the teams we serve.
A Moment from Makayla’s Remarks
“If your dream can be achieved alone, then your dream is not big enough.” That quote sits on Makayla’s desk and guided her remarks at the event. She shared how mentorship, teamwork, and a supportive environment have shaped her early career—and why she’s committed to building programs that strengthen employee experience and organizational health.
“This award motivates me to keep advocating for what matters most: creating a workplace where employees feel engaged, valued, and connected to our mission.” - Makayla Batsford: NNHRA HR Rising Star Award Winner
