PFM Attends the Business Laureates of British Columbia Hall of Fame Gala

By

PFM was proud to be in attendance on May 30 for the 17th annual Business Laureates of British Columbia Hall of Fame Gala Dinner and Induction Ceremonies honoring the 2023 Laureate Inductees.

The Business Laureates of British Columbia Hall of Fame was created by JABC in 2005 to honour the lifetime achievements of outstanding B.C. business leaders whose efforts have shaped our province and country. Nominations are open to the public to ensure B.C.’s diverse business community is represented, and the broadest group of nominees is put forward. Laureates have demonstrated vision, leadership, integrity and legacy throughout their lifetime, and the Hall of Fame stands as a testament to the positive legacy they leave behind for future generations of business leaders.

This year a record $1.1 million+ was raised to help deliver life-changing JA programs. This means from the 60,000+ youth JABC will reach this year, in urban, rural and Indigenous Communities across our province, over 12,000 of them will be thanks to the funds raised from last night’s Gala. JA programs in work-readiness, financial health and entrepreneurship, help build a brighter future for the next generation of innovators, entrepreneurs, and leaders.

PFM Executive Search has been a proud sponsor of both the nominating and selection process for the Business Laureates of British Columbia Hall of Fame since it’s creation in 2005.

Celebrating 30 years!

By

30 years ago, PFM Executive Search was formed with the vision of creating an executive search firm that provides tailor-made executive search services to clients in the private, public and not-for-profit Sectors. At PFM we are committed to supporting Diversity, Equity and Inclusion; this commitment is woven into our values and beliefs as an organization. Our team acknowledges the unique challenges and structural barriers that marginalized groups face within the work place. With many of our team members knowing first-hand how an individual’s lived experiences with race, gender, sexual orientation, and ability can impact their access to leadership opportunities, PFM takes an intentional and meaningful approach to consider our candidates unique circumstances and structural barriers they may have faced throughout their career. We believe we have the opportunity and responsibility to shape a future for executive leadership based on values of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Therefore, we are taking action and doing our part by implementing a DEI lens to every aspect of the work we do.

 

Our business is entirely based on trust and relationships. To that end, we are incredibly proud of the PFM team and those who have shaped our values and culture along the way to ensure we never lose sight of what’s important. Garth Pinton, Casey Forrest and George Madden built this firm on the foundation of being humble, working hard and treating everyone with the utmost respect, and we have lived those values for 30 years. The outstanding team we have with us today will carry this legacy forward while ensuring we are changing and adapting to meet the needs of candidates and clients.

 

To our clients – many of whom have worked with us for most of the 30 years we’ve been in business – we thank you so much. We truly value the partnerships and friendships we’ve developed over the years, and don’t take the trust we’ve built with you for granted.

 

We look forward to seeing what the next 30 years will bring!
