Chetkovich retired from Deloitte Haskins & Sells, the firm with which he had been associated for twenty-six years and led as managing partner for the past eight years. His rise within the firm was paralleled by recognition on the part of his professional peers of his abilities and accomplishments. In October 1976 Mike was named chairman of the American Institute of CPAs. Long interested in the international aspects of the accounting profession, he was chosen to be the AICPA representative to the International Coordination Committee for the Accountancy Profession when that group was formed in 1972. In June of last year Mike was honored by the University of California at Berkeley School of Business Administration, his alma mater, which presented him with the Centennial Award. This award is given only once every hundred years by each of the various schools of the university to outstanding alumni. Only a short time ago it was announced that Mike, who with his wife Alice will be returning in the fall to his native California, has been appointed to a Regents Professorship for the winter term at the University of California. The appointment, considered one of the most prestigious at the school, is awarded to dis-tinguished practitioners in various fields. In addition, in June Mike was presented with an honorary degree of Doctor of Laws by Pace University in New York City, and was named to receive the 1977 award of the Alpha Kappa Psi Foundation. Effective July 1, he became a member of the Board of Directors of the American Reinsurance Company of New York City. In April the firm's Policy Committee presented Mike with a resolution approved and signed by all members of the committee. It might be fair to say that the resolution, reproduced on the facing page, says more about Michael Chetkovich and how he is seen in the eyes of his friends and peers than any amount of biographical data. 36 HASKINS & SELLS POLICY COMMITTEE RESOLUTION April 26,1978 $8tjereafl, Michael N.
