The firm celebrated its 90th anniversary of serving the middle market. As part of the celebration, the firm inducted its first class of Hall of Fame members and launched 90-90-9: Pursue Your Passion, an employee contest that awarded nine employees with $90,000 ($10,000 each) to fulfill their passions. Not surprisingly, given our focus on stewardship, each of the nine winners chose to use this opportunity to give back to the community.
