Derived from PLANSPONSOR’s 2016 Defined Contribution (DC) Survey, the individuals were chosen by the PLANSPONSOR Surveys & Research team, which culled through written client comments, wherein plan sponsors were asked to give examples of specific instances where their recordkeeper account representatives went above and beyond “great customer service.”

The 2017 Service Stars will be officially recognized at the PLANSPONSOR/PLANADVISER Awards for Excellence Dinner on March 30 in New York City, and each of the nine Service Stars will be profiled in a story in the April-May 2017 issue of PLANSPONSOR.
