RSM Receives Bronze U.S. President’s Volunteer Service Award

CHICAGO – (July 13, 2023) – RSM US LLP (“RSM”) – the nation’s leading provider of assurance, tax and consulting services focused on the middle market – was recently recognized with a Bronze U.S. President’s Volunteer Service Award (PVSA) for the 2021-2022 school year. The award was presented in recognition of the more than 1,000 volunteer hours RSM’s people have provided to Junior Achievement USA® (“JA”).

The U.S. President’s Volunteer Service Award is a presidential recognition program created by the President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation for individuals and organizations who contribute a significant amount of time to volunteer service. JA, as an official certifying organization for the award, bestows this degree of honor to organizations with a U.S. presence that provide volunteers to teach JA programs anywhere in the world.

“While the pandemic continued to disrupt the education landscape over the past year, we commend RSM’s return to volunteerism efforts,” said Jack Kosakowski, president & CEO with Junior Achievement USA®. “Junior Achievement appreciates RSM’s leadership and the countless hours of dedicated work from its people. You made an impact on our communities.”

“Stewardship has been one of RSM’s core values for nearly 100 years,” said Bill Kracunas, principal and national strategy & management consulting leader with RSM US LLP, and Junior Achievement USA® board member. “It’s been a true pleasure to champion RSM’s support of Junior Achievement, an organization that’s so keenly aligned with the RSM US Foundation’s mission of building tomorrow’s middle market leaders. On behalf the more than 450 RSM people who have engaged with hundreds of students nationwide through JA, I humbly accept this prestigious recognition on behalf of our fine firm.”

The PVSA was presented to RSM during a recent JA National Student Leadership Summit in Washington, DC. During the event, in addition to the award presentation, students showcased their creativity and entrepreneurial thinking in a competitive environment – showcasing their companies to members of Congress and business leaders. They also had the opportunity to participate in workshops led by national experts in innovation, entrepreneurship and business.
