ASSOCIATE COMMITTEE
Kirton McConkie associates also benefit from an Associate Committee made up of seasoned shareholders who oversee the implementation of the Associate Development Plan, created by the board of directors, to chart the course for a successful career at Kirton McConkie. We also have an Associate Liaison Committee, which comprises associates who liaise with the Associate Committee on behalf of the associates to address areas of feedback or concern.
ASSOCIATE RETREAT
The annual associate retreat is held as Snowbird and welcomes associates and their significant others. The retreat includes a morning of meetings with firm management followed by social events, dinner, and an overnight stay at the resort.
