Retirement good wishes to Brad Mayer and a big welcome to Dane Boeckermann as the new MGI Worldwide Key Contact

MGI Worldwide friends and colleagues from around the world wish long-standing member Brad Mayer, from Boeckermann Grafstrom & Mayer (BGM), all the best on his recent retirement and welcome firm Principal and President, Dane Boeckermann as the new MGI Worldwide Key Contact.

Having stepped down from his role as Co-Founder, Principal & Board Member earlier in the year, MGI Worldwide would like to take this opportunity to wish Brad Mayer of Boeckermann Grafstrom & Mayer, Minnesota, USA, a very happy retirement! While he will be sorely missed, it’s with great pleasure that we share well wishes from around the world to mark his long career and involvement in the life of our network.

Members of MGI Worldwide global accounting network for almost 30 years, BGM – and in particular Brad and his wife Barbara – have been a regular presence at Regional and Global meetings for several decades. 

“Brad Mayer and his wife Barbara have been devoted members. I don’t think they have ever missed a North America conference as long as I have been associated with MGI Worldwide.” Joe Tarasco, Regional Director MGI North America

Brad was always keen to be the first person the firm’s clients called when they had an opportunity or problem. He counts himself blessed to have worked with very talented clients and associates with great business acumen, excellent vision and strategy, and strong leadership. His passion for being there for people helped build BGM into the successful firm it is today.
