The award recognizes young CPAs on the rise who have made significant contributions to the accounting profession, their workplaces and local communities.

In the community, Owen serves as chair-elect of the United Way Young Leaders Society, board treasurer of the Lexington Young Professionals, board treasurer of Lexington Festivals, board member of the Lexington YMCA, chair of the Lexington YMCA Vision and Innovation Committee, member of the Lexington Business Network and member of the Lexington Chamber of Commerce.
