This year’s RSM Classic teed off
yesterday as RSM US LLP (“RSM”) private
equity clients joined RSM leaders and a number of junior level RSM
professionals hit the course for Monday’s Pro-Am. What does it take to be
invited to participated in such a fun and prestigious event at RSM? Our “Take
One” program provides opportunities for junior level professionals across the
firm to have direct interaction with clients. As part of that program, this
year, we invited 14 professionals to walk inside the ropes with their private
equity clients during the Monday’s Pro-Am. Read what Susie Warsal had to say
about her experience:
“It was amazing to experience the magnitude of this event first-hand and
meet some of the top names on the PGA Tour. I felt proud seeing the RSM logo
all over Sea Island. But most importantly, it was a wonderful opportunity to
get closer to our clients and RSM partners in a setting where everyone was
excited and having fun. I am very thankful for the opportunity.”
A highlight of the afternoon was the tournament’s annual Youth Day, where Chris DiMarco entertained children from across the island with a few trick shots, lessons on golf and leadership, and his humor – along with a few signed golf balls, which made several of the children very happy.
The evening was topped off with a
client and prospect reception where Team RSM Member Zach
Johnson shared personal insights and stories from the 2016 Team USA Ryder
Cup with attendees. Following Zach’s comments, author Joshua Evenson was
on-hand for live auction emceed by Doug Opheim. Joshua’s beautiful,
one-of-a-kind book, Letters to St. Andrews, generated heated (but friendly)
bidding among the attendees, and raised a total of $14,400 for nonprofit
organizations aligned with the RSM Foundation’s mission of building tomorrow’s
middle market leaders through programs that support youth through education,
hunger, housing and health.
Today, we’re back on the course,
enjoying the beauty of Sea Island, and looking forward to spending time with
clients and prospects during this evening’s Pro-Am Pairings Party at the home
of Team RSM Member Davis
Love III.
