(KAIR)--Special recognition for an Atchison-based business leader.

That comes as Dave Rindom, the Vice-President and Chief Administrative Officer at MGP Ingredients, is named as one of “50 Kansans You Should Know.”

That's a special edition of the Kansas City publication, Ingram's Magazine, which was published in May.

According to a press release issued by MGP, the annual edition “spotlights individuals from all across Kansas who “stand out for their successes and achievements and help improve the quality of life for the people around them.”

The 50 Kansans selected are based on several factors that include professional achievements and how honorees “have set standards of excellence.”

Rindom joined MGP as a distillery operator in 1980. He was made assistant personnel director in 1984 and was promoted to personnel director four years later. In 1992, he was appointed corporate director of human resources. He remained in that role for eight years until becoming an officer of the company with his promotion to vice president of human resources.

Rindom has served as Vice president and Chief Administrative Officer of the company since December 2015.

He is the second MGP employee to be honored by Ingram’s this year. In April, Brandon Gall, director of supply chain finance and business development, received recognition as a member of the magazine’s 19th class of “40 Under Forty” up-and-coming business and professional leaders in the greater Kansas City metro area.
