If you were alive in 1999 (back when I still had dark hair) you remember the panic surrounding the approaching new millennium. So much talk and so much fear about 9 becoming 0 and the unknown territory of the 21st century. It’s hard to believe that it’s been 20 years and we are now stepping into 2020.

At TCO, we always start the new year sharing great news about our professional team so it’s my pleasure to kick off this decade with this tradition. Two dedicated and experienced professionals have recently joined our team. Please help me welcome Ben Reynolds and Jessica Hendrix.

Ben is leading our Retirement Plan Solutions Division. Jessica, as a member of our Oklahoma City team, helps families, businesses and foundations achieve their financial goals.

In addition, help me congratulate Michael Hopper and Michael Hairston for being promoted to executive vice president. They also have joined our Board of Directors. Congratulations!

Emily Crain’s dedication to clients earned her a promotion to senior vice president. And, Rebecca Mitchell and Lindsay Bivin are now assistant vice presidents. Last, but not least, Sean Connolly, who has been working in the Property Management Division for almost two years, is now a trust officer.

Please join me in congratulating these exceptional employees.

Once again, thank you for your business. Here’s to a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year!
