GENERATIONAL LEGACY AWARD

The Eugene C. and Gail V. Sit Family

The late Eugene C. Sit started Sit Investment Associates in 1981. Today, Eugene’s children lead Sit Investments Associates, a firm that manages over $11 billion in assets. Beyond the Sit family’s commitment to its investment philosophy is its unyielding commitment to philanthropic endeavors in the arts, education, and veterans appreciation. In the 1860s, Eugene’s grandfather emigrated from China to the U.S. to help build the transcontinental railroad.
