2025 HIRE Vets Platinum Medallion and featured in panel discussion for Service-Disabled Veterans
Lynch is proud to announce that we have received the 2025 HIRE Vets Platinum Medallion Award from the U.S. Department of Labor. This national recognition honors employers demonstrating outstanding achievement in hiring, developing, and retaining veterans. We’re honored to join an elite group of 888 employers recognized for measurable veteran inclusion and workforce success.
Established by Congress in 2017, the HIRE Vets Medallion Award Program highlights organizations that exemplify best practices in veteran employment. Achieving Platinum, the program’s highest distinction, reflects our firm’s enduring commitment to supporting veterans through career transition and long-term professional growth. Today, more than 30% of Lynch employees are veterans, bringing leadership, accountability, and mission-driven excellence that strengthen our culture and the clients we serve.
Earlier this year, Patrick Lynch and James Moore, CDFM, DFMCP3, CSM, PMP, represented our firm at the HIRE Vets Medallion Awards Ceremony, held in the U.S. Department of Labor’s Great Hall at the Frances Perkins Building in Washington, D.C. The event, which included remarks from Keith Sonderling, Commissioner at the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and Julie Hocker, U.S. Assistant Secretary of Labor, celebrated organizations making tangible impacts in veteran employment.
Following the ceremony, Lynch was one of six companies invited to a private roundtable discussion focused on advancing opportunities for Service-Disabled Veterans. The conversation highlighted best practices in mentoring, coaching, and training to build inclusive environments where veterans can thrive. Patrick and James shared our firm’s approach; tailored mentoring programs, focused leadership development, and accommodations that meet individual needs while enabling long-term career success.
For us, veteran inclusion is not just a policy, it’s a principle rooted in who we are. We view veteran recruitment as the beginning of a professional journey, one built on skill cultivation, peer mentorship, and community connection. Our structured coaching and professional development initiatives help veterans translate their military expertise into fulfilling consulting careers in federal financial management and related fields.
Veterans at Lynch bring unmatched discipline, adaptability, and mission focus to every engagement. In turn, we work to ensure they have the tools, training, and leadership opportunities to continue growing and contributing meaningfully beyond their military service.
Earning the 2025 Platinum Medallion affirms our shared commitment to empowering those who have served, and challenges us to keep leading by example. As we continue to expand our veteran hiring and mentorship efforts, we remain focused on creating a workplace where veterans can lead, innovate, and shape the future of federal financial management.
We are profoundly grateful to our veteran associates, whose service and leadership inspire us daily. They are the foundation of our success, and the reason we’re proud to be recognized once again by the U.S. Department of Labor as a Platinum HIRE Vets Medallion Award recipient.
Bridging financial strategy and operational innovation.
