Crowe MacKay would like to congratulate Don Turri on receiving an Honorary Fellow from Okanagan College. The Fellow is the College's highest honour and is awarded to individuals who have made unique and meaningful contributions through education, public service, mentorship, and philanthropy. Fellows are recognized for their distinguished achievements and outstanding services to the College, Okanagan Valley, the province, the nation, or on an international level.

A Partner and leader within the firm for over 30 years, Don is a champion of giving back to his community and has built this philanthropy within the culture of Crowe MacKay. Don is a supporter of local businesses and community initiatives. He has volunteered his time over the years to various organizations including the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce, the United Way, Kelowna Sunrise Rotary, minor football and hockey, the Central Okanagan Foundation, and as the co-chair of the Okanagan College Alumni Awareness Campaign.

A most deserving recipient. Don exemplifies each of these attributes, plus. His genuine concern for people marks him as a very special individual, but his concern is never just expressed. He acts on it, and that makes him unique. Congratulations Don. As one who has benefited from your many acts of kindness, it's great to see you recognized by your alma mater and your community.

Don was an amazing contributor with the vision that we could be truly respectful of each other while working in the competitive professional services market of the Okanagan. The ability to put the client first allowed us to focus on our strengths and contribute at a high level for more than thirty years. Don defined leadership day in and day out. Well done.
