Laughter, applause, and even some tears filled the room at the Sheraton Albuquerque Uptown earlier this month during the annual Pride in the Profession awards luncheon. The program began with the recognition of the scholarship award recipients. Due to generous contributions from firms, members and sponsors, the Society awarded $26,800 to 12 accounting students from the University of New Mexico and New Mexico State University. The awards included a one-time memorial scholarship in honor of Daniel Mackie, founder of the Albuquerque firm Mackie Reid and Company.
During the Outstanding Member Awards portion , which are a highlight of the annual event, the crowd gave a standing ovation to the two recipients of the Lifetime Achievement Award, Don Beasley and C. Jack Emmons.
