NOMINATOR COMMENTS

A company in the construction trades said: “This past year, we changed our approach to investment offerings in our 401(k) plan. Hector was the glue that held the project together and made it as seamless as it could possibly be. This was a huge undertaking for our company, and without Hector’s help it would not have been successful. He continues to make me feel like we’re the only client Milliman has. I worked at a recordkeeper for 15 years before coming over to the client side. I’ve been at my current employer for over 20 years and have had different relationship managers. Hector is the best one we’ve ever had. I know how hard the job is since I did it myself. Hector continually raises the bar for us!”
