The award is given each year to one partner and one employee who exemplify the firm’s five PRIDE values: passion, respect, integrity, discipline and excellence. BKD partners and employees nominate their peers for the award, and the winners are chosen by the firm’s Governing Board.
Hutson has more than 30 years of experience in the financial services industry. He oversees a team of more than 200 advisors who deliver unmatched client service to more than 1,200 financial institutions. Lindner, a member of BKD National Not-for-Profit & Government Group, is an audit supervisor with more than six years of public accounting experience. He has served as the audit in-charge on a number of BKD's governmental and transportation authority engagements.
“Don and Chris are truly an inspiration to their clients and co-workers,” Spencer said. “Don inspires his colleagues with his work ethic, professionalism and passion, and Chris is known firmwide for his hard work, technical expertise and client service skills. Congratulations to these individuals for earning the firm’s highest honor. They deserve special attention for their big-time contributions.”
Both honorees will receive their awards during a ceremony at One Great Week, the firm's annual leadership conference in Indianapolis, Indiana, in late September.
