Standing Partnership

Today, we’re excited to celebrate Michael Ten Clay on his five-year anniversary!

Over the past five years, Michael has brought his strategic mindset, project leadership and deep commitment to building strong client relationships to everything he does. His passion for thoughtful collaboration has helped shape how we partner with clients and deliver results that matter, and his ability to balance strategic thinking with practical ex*****on has made him a trusted colleague and advisor across our teams.

Thank you, Michael, for all you’ve contributed — here’s to continuing growth, impact and partnership!

We are excited to celebrate the women of Dix & Eaton and Standing Partnership and the impact they make across our team, our clients and our community.

Every day, their leadership, expertise and perspective strengthen our work. They challenge us to think bigger, collaborate more deeply and continue building a culture where everyone can grow and contribute.

We’re grateful for the talent, dedication and leadership the women on our team bring to our organizations every day!

🎉 Happy Employee Appreciation Day to our incredible team!
We’re more than colleagues — we’re owners. And ownership shows up in the way our team supports each other, serves clients and approaches every challenge with resilience, curiosity and integrity.
We’re grateful for the dedication, collaboration and ambition of our employee-owners. It’s that shared commitment that drives our growth as we build what comes next — together.

This month is a time to honor the achievements, leadership and lasting influence of Black individuals throughout history — and to acknowledge that Black history is still being written every day. It’s also a moment to pause and reflect on the progress made, while recognizing the work that remains in building a more equitable society.

At Dix & Eaton and Standing Partnership, we strive to create understanding, elevate voices and help move communities forward.

Today, we honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and reflect on one of his most powerful reminders: “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’”

Inclusion is not just an idea. It’s a daily practice. It shows up in how we listen, how we collaborate, and how we support one another.
When people feel respected and affirmed, they’re empowered to contribute fully and grow with confidence. Let’s continue building cultures where everyone belongs.

We are excited to announce the launch of Grow and Protect, our new enterprise framework designed to help organizations accelerate growth, manage risk and safeguard enterprise value.

Grow, led by Standing Partnership, is focused on building growth engines that can scale. Protect, led by Dix & Eaton, strengthens the systems, intelligence and preparedness that protect reputation and foster trust. Together, we connect strategy with resilience to deliver measurable business outcomes. Learn more in our recent blog: https://hubs.ly/Q03-YNkS0.
