Irvine, CA – October 21, 2019 – Windes, a leading California accounting and advisory firm, has been named as the Medium OC Workforce Award Winner in the third annual Civic 50 Orange County awards sponsored by the Orange County Business Journal and OneOC.
The program provides a local standard for superior corporate citizenship and showcases how companies use their time, skills and other resources to improve the quality of life in the communities where they do business. This is the third time the Civic 50, a national initiative of Points of Light, has been localized for a specific market. Since 2012, the Civic 50 has annually recognized the 50 most community-minded companies in the nation as determined by a survey developed by True Impact. For Orange County, honorees were determined using True Impact’s adapted national Civic 50 online survey that is independently administered and scored.
Companies were selected based upon four dimensions of their community engagement programs: investment, integration, institutionalization and impact. The Civic 50 OC honorees include businesses from three categories: small, medium and large (based on the company’s number of local employees).
“It is quite an honor to be named the winner in the medium-sized category and to make the list as an honoree three years in a row, since the program’s inception,” says Jeff Fields, Orange County partner-in-charge of Windes. “Our employees give selflessly of their time and talents to support charities throughout the community. One of our core values is to ‘give back to our communities,’ which is communicated on day one when people start with us and it permeates throughout their career at the firm.”
