While the late Thomas Burrage was highly respected for his expertise in litigation, forensic accounting, business valuation, and taxation, he is remembered most as a kind and generous man who gave back to the profession. In that spirit, the 2018 Burrage Award for Compassion, Collegiality and Character has been bestowed upon Kevin Yeanoplos (Brueggeman and Johnson Yeanoplos PC). The award was given by the Expert Resource Connection, co-founded by Burrage, which is a group of business valuation and forensic accounting professionals who share resources and collaborate on engagements. As part of the award, a scholarship stipend has been presented to Cassandra Mikolajczak, an accounting student at the University of New Mexico. Burrage was also known for giving his support and guidance to young people in the profession, and UNM was his alma mater.
