Cress V. Diglio Receives Tom West Award 2019

Orlando, FL., June 7th, 2019 – Calder Associates is pleased to announce that their Managing Partner, Cress V. Diglio, has been chosen to receive the Tom West Award 2019.

Tom West is one of the founding fathers and was the first professional manager of the International Business Brokers Association. In the late 90’s, the Board of Directors decided to establish an award in his name.

To win the award, recipients must show outstanding communication and promotion of the goals and ethics of business brokering. Recipients must aim to enhance the public image of the business brokerage profession by promotion of the association/profession through any form of communication.

“I am truly honored to have been named the recipient of the Tom West Award this year. Over the last 20 years, my top priorities have been to ensure that needs of my clients and customers always come first and to adhere to the highest professional standards. I am pleased to be recognized for my work ethic,” said Cress V. Diglio.

Mr. Diglio has been helping clients and customers navigate through the business brokering process. His experience and knowledge of buying, selling and valuating businesses has been instrumental to his success.
