However you fill in the blank, it has been a shining example of people staying together for a common cause…to serve our clients and their particular industries, area of business. It is hard to believe, particularly in today’s employment climate, but a dozen of us have been together at Gardiner Thomsen for almost 17 years to over 40 years.  This group of professionals is the secret to GT’s success.  Secondly, we have chosen to stay the course within our specific industry expertise. Founder, Dan Gardiner, put us on a course of serving agricultural businesses, particularly cooperatives, starting in 1964.  In the very early 1980s we started serving credit unions and also expanded our auditing of local governments/municipalities.  These individuals (and their tenure with GT) include: ·         Dave Thomsen        Cooperatives             Lincoln, NE                     40+ years ·         Mark Gardiner        Cooperatives              Des Moines, IA              35+ years ·         Dennis Gardiner     Cooperatives             Des Moines, IA               34+ years ·         Mark Rodruck          Cooperatives             Charles City, IA              23+ years ·         Jim English                Cooperatives             Des Moines, IA               23+ years ·         Paul Archer               Cooperatives             Albert City, IA                 28+ years ·         Greg Cargin               Cooperatives             Sioux Falls, SD                19+ years ·         Seth Gilson                Cooperatives             Des Moines, IA               19+ years ·         Elizabeth Thyer       Governments            Charles City, IA               18+ years ·         Brian Sullivan           Credit Unions            Des Moines, IA               17+ years ·         Chuck Telk                Tax                                 Des Moines, IA               17+ years ·         Ryan Taylor               Cooperatives              Des Moines, IA               16+ years Every day we strive to challenge ourselves and our staff to learn, develop, grow and succeed professionally and personally.  We are very pleased and excited about the next generation of leaders of our firm that are developing.  We are humbled by the client relationships we have earned over the years to allow us these opportunities.  You have given us the pleasure of growing (fill in the blank) with you and your organizations.  Thank you!

The bullet points in the previous article apply to these individuals also.
