2006 ER Recruiter of the Year - Dan Hilbert, Valero Energy
Dan Hilbert
I was thrilled to have an opportunity to spend an hour one-on-one with the ER Recruiter of the Year Dan Hilbert in San Diego. Dan is Employment Manager for Valero Energy.
Here's what Dr. John Sullivan wrote about Dan in the ER Exchange Forum: "What Dan Hilbert and his team at Valero Energy have accomplished will forever change the strategic options that recruiting directors must consider. They have developed what may be the world's most strategic staffing approach, one that emphasizes using metrics to refine "talent pipelines" to produce a talent supply chain."
This week, the feature film, based on Erin Gruwell's book "the Freedom Writers," has its world premiere. The film is directed by Richard LaGravenese, starring Hilary Swank.
Erin Gruwell
Nothing could have prepared Erin Gruwell for her first day of teaching at Wilson High School in Long Beach. Most of her students from this racially divided urban community were written off by the education system and deemed "unteachable." Gruwell leveraged the power of education to transform their lives, by teaching tolerance through literature and writing. Her tenacity and commitment to her students is chronicled in the published text The Freedom Writers Diary - How a Teacher and 150 Teens Used Writing to Change Themselves and the World Around Them. With her steadfast support, all 150 students shattered stereotypes, graduated from high school and pursued college careers.
