LAKE OSWEGO, ORE., JANUARY 26, 2022—For the past four years, Aldrich has celebrated an outstanding team member who embodies the Aldrich Group of Companies’ guiding principle of servant leadership with an annual award named after former Aldrich CEO, Steve Tatone. Aldrich is excited to announce the 2022 recipient of the Stephen M. Tatone Servant Leadership Award is Sam Buck, CPA.
“Servant leadership has been the foundation of everything we do at Aldrich, and has been since the beginning; it’s integrated into our purpose, vision, mission, and values. It is the concept that you’re a giver, not a taker,” explains Steve Tatone, Partner Emeritus, who served as Aldrich CEO for nearly 40 years. “Sam is a team player, consistently giving, and is dedicated to being of service to others. He is committed to making a difference in the lives of everyone he comes into contact with, and is particularly exceptional in delivering value and an elevated experience for his clients.”

Sam is known for his consistent care for others and approachability as a mentor. Offering strategic tax planning and compliance services to clients in the manufacturing, food processing, and craft beverage industries, Sam’s passion for his clients’ success is evident in every interaction.
