This week, BVWire is attending NACVA and the CTI’s 2020 Business Valuation and Financial Litigation Super Conference (online of course), where the recipients of this year’s Thomas R. Porter Lifetime Achievement Award have been named. Two individuals have received the award this year. First, Edward B. Cordes (posthumous), who formed the Denver-based Cordes Co. in 1983 and was very active with NACVA, serving and advising in various functions. In 2019, he established the Edward B. Cordes Scholarship Fund, which will fund over 30 full-ride scholarships for FFA students to attend a Colorado college or vocational school. The other recipient is Nancy Gault, a founding partner with CoNexus CPA Group (Atlanta), who has been very active with NACVA for many years, where she served as an ambassador and as NACVA’s Georgia State chapter president from 1996 to 2012.

The conference runs through this Friday, June 19. For those of you who can’t attend this week, the entire conference will be repeated the week of August 3-7 using the same virtual model and viewing options.
