On December 6, 2024, CenterSquare presented the prestigious Frank J. Ferro Heart of CenterSquare award to the woman who truly keeps the firm running, Missy Grady.
Missy, our Chief Administrative Officer, and one of the firm’s first employees, has been at CenterSquare for 32 years. Over her tenure, Missy has held various roles, including administrative support, office management, private equity client accounting, and human resources. She continues to support many functions across the firm, such as finance, accounting, human resources, payroll, and employee and vendor relations.
This esteemed award is a tribute to the memory of our dearly missed General Counsel Emeritus, Frank J. Ferro. Frank’s legacy spans over 17 years with CenterSquare, where he not only offered invaluable legal counsel but also provided unwavering guidance and infectious positivity to all within our family. The Heart of CenterSquare award is given each year to the CenterSquare team member who carries forth Frank’s legacy and exemplifies his outstanding qualities – a commitment to excellence, generosity of time and spirit, and an infectious optimism.
As a true embodiment of Frank’s legacy, Missy brings a positive attitude and willingness to help anyone who needs it. Her attention to detail and solution-oriented approach are unmatched at CenterSquare.
As part of the Heart of CenterSquare award tradition, Missy will also receive matching funds to support a philanthropic cause of her choice – the Lighthouse Baptist Church Building Fund. Missy is a dedicated member of the Lighthouse Baptist Church, which is raising funds for a new building to best enable the Church to fulfill their mission.
