Introduced in October 2019, the Aguirre & Fields Associates Program was developed to transition current employees to future partners, becoming partial owners of the company.
“Employee ownership allows us to maintain our culture while making a positive impact in our communities,” says DeBord. “I appreciate Aguirre & Fields for living our guiding principles, empowering employees to be the driving force of excellence.”

The program helps ensure Aguirre & Fields remains an internally-held and operated company as associates learn of the duties and requirements in becoming a partner.
Becoming an Aguirre & Fields associate gives me the opportunity to invest in something I believe in,” says Ingram. “We are a special and unique company because we are character-based. The associate program provides us the opportunity to grow, learn, and build upon our guiding principles so we can continue to impact our communities in positive ways.”
