David Byers, M Financial’s Board Chair and Principal of Member Firm Capital Strategies Group, has been named the 2024 recipient of Pacific Life’s prestigious Preston Hotchkis Distinguished Achievement Award. This annual award recognizes dedication to the community, sales production, client service, and overall achievement.
Byers has been a transformative leader in the industry, merging his expertise in life insurance and tax law with innovative estate planning solutions. His commitment to advocacy and philanthropy has made a lasting impact on M Financial, the industry, and his community.
In addition to the commemorative award, Pacific Life will honor David’s achievements with a $5,000 grant to his chosen charity, United Way of Central Alabama.
“I’m very honored to receive the Preston Hotchkis Distinguished Achievement Award.
