The accolade recognizes branch managers for outstanding work and leadership in areas that include client service, staff retention and recruiting, support and ethics.
“We are pleased to honor Dez and Rick for their exceptional efforts in 2024,” said Joely Meighan, Regional Director of the Pacific Northwest Region for D.A. Davidson. “Dez and Rick have a one-of-a-kind partnership that provides their branches with both ‘in the seat’ experience and the time benefit that full-time management offers. They are up early and stay late to meet the constant needs of their branches. Dez is an attentive, empathetic leader and an excellent communicator, and Rick’s experience and perspective make them a great team and dynamic duo. Congratulations!”
Molloy and Hutchins both joined D.A. Davidson as core members of the team that opened the firm’s wealth management office in Medford, Oregon, in 2009. They also oversee the Roseburg and Klamath Falls offices. This is Hutchins’ third recognition as Branch Manager of the Year.
