ATLANTA, November
27, 2013 – Chet Walden, President of Walden Businesses with headquarters in
Atlanta, GA, received the 2013 Darrell Fouts Award at the M&A Source Conference
in Savanah, GA on November 19th.
The M&A
Source was founded by Darrell Fouts in 1992 under the guidance of Tom West,
Founder of the International Business Brokers Association (IBBA). Prior to the
creation of The Source, Darrell taught IBBA classes to assist Main Street
brokers as they transitioned to larger transactions. The M&A Source was
founded on donations made from sixty IBBA members. The M&A Source
established an award in Mr. Fouts’ name in 2001, in recognition and
appreciation of the selfless vision and leadership he generously gave to the
profession.
The Darrell
Fouts Award is the most prestigious award given to an M&A Source member and
honors that member’s exceptional contributions and visionary leadership
resulting in a distinct benefit to The Source’s members, uplifting and
expanding the vision of the M&A Source and/or to the M&A profession.
Chet was
instrumental in negotiating the transfer of both IBBA and M&A Source to a
new executive management firm during his tenure as Chair-Elect and Chairman of
M&A Source (2010-2012). His leadership efforts helped bond the two
associations as they worked separately and in tandem with one another.
Chet holds
industry certifications as a Certified Business Intermediary, a Mergers and
Acquisitions Master Intermediary and a Fellow of the IBBA.
