Shine Bright: 60 Years of FWHR Excellence

For 60 years, Fort Worth HR has brought together HR professionals to connect, grow, lead, and strengthen our community. This year, we’re celebrating that legacy in a way worthy of the milestone. 

Join us for Shine Bright: 60 Years of FWHR Excellence, our 2026 Annual Awards Celebration, as we honor six decades of FWHR history and recognize the outstanding HR professionals shaping what comes next. Because you only celebrate a Diamond Anniversary once, this is your invitation to shine. Break out the sequins, shimmer, rhinestones, metallics, and sparkle and come dressed for an evening worthy of 60 years of FWHR.

Date & Time: Friday, November 13, 2026 | 6:00–10:00 PM

Location: Amon G. Carter Event Center

Registration: Coming soon. Tickets are $10, with proceeds supporting our Scholarship Funds to help invest in the next generation of HR professionals.

The evening will feature:

• Cocktail hour with passed appetizers and live entertainment from a local a cappella group
• A plated dinner catered by Reata
• Awards recognizing exceptional leadership and contributions to the HR profession
• A glitter photo booth to capture the evening's sparkle and memories
• Time to connect, celebrate, and reconnect with past and present FWHR members
