Dallas-based insurance and risk management firm McQueary Henry Bowles Troy L.L.P. (MHBT), announced that Trey Halbert, a senior vice president with the employee benefits group in MHBT’s Austin office, was named winner of the 2009 Austin Under Forty (Au40) Awards in the financial services category.
This is the second consecutive year that Halbert has been nominated for this recognition.
Hosted by the Young Men’s Business League and the Young Women’s Alliance, the Au40 Awards recognize young men and women in Austin who excel in their professional fields and make considerable contributions to the community.
The 2009 finalists were pulled from more than 200 public nominations and were judged half on professional merit and half on community commitment. Based on this criteria, 50 finalists were selected representing one of 10 categories of professional fields, including Arts/Entertainment, Business/Entrepreneurship, Community Service, Financial Services, Government/Public Affairs, Legal, Medical/Health Care, Real Estate, Technology/Sciences and Youth/Education. From the 50 finalists, the 10 most outstanding, community-oriented men and women of Greater Austin were recognized.
In addition to Au40, Halbert has also been named as one of five finalists for the 2008 Young Leader of the Year Award, presented by the United Way Capital Area Young Leaders Society. He serves on the Board of Governors for Life Works, holds several leadership positions with Habitat for Humanity and Leadership Austin and is co-founder of the Leadership Austin Emerge Program and Habitat Young Professionals.
