AICPA announces business & industry and government awards.

During the summer, the AICPA honored three members in business and industry with induction into its Business and Industry Hall of Fame and conferred awards for outstanding achievements for government members in local, state and federal government.

The AICPA Business and Industry Hall of Fame, sponsored by Ajilon Finance, honors CPAs who provide insight and vision to their organizations, understand all facets of their enterprise, and demonstrate the leadership, commitment and strategic ability necessary to help their organizations meet the challenges of today's dynamic market conditions. The three winners of the Ninth Annual Business and Industry Hall of Fame Awards are: Arthur V. Neis, former vice president, treasurer/CFO of LCS Holdings, Inc., Des Moines, Iowa; James W. Noyce, CEO of FBL Financial Group, West Des Moines, Iowa; and Peggy Scott, executive vice president, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana, Baton Rouge.
