In lieu of our regular “on this date” report, we wanted to take the opportunity to highlight the fact that PLANSPONSOR has opened the nominating process for the annual Plan Sponsor of the Year and Retirement Plan Adviser of the Year awards. As we have in past years, PLANSPONSOR is soliciting your help in identifying qualified candidates for each award. If you work with or for, or know of, a great plan sponsor, plan adviser or plan adviser team, please help us recognize the best in the business. For plan sponsors, nominations may be made by providers, advisers, consultants, actuaries, attorneys, third-party administrators, employees and colleagues, or, you can even nominate yourself. The award is given in many categories to recognize all plan types, so any plan sponsor can be eligible. The nomination form is available here. Nominations for the Retirement Plan Adviser of the Year awards, now given in four categories based on practice and team size, may be made by plan sponsor clients, employers, brokers/dealers of eligible advisers, as well as from working partners of these advisers, such as investment vendors, accountants, attorneys and plan administrators. However, self-nominations are not permitted. The nomination form is available here. Finalists and winners for Plan Sponsor of the Year Awards will be featured online at PLANSPONSOR.com and in upcoming 2020 issues of PLANSPONSOR. |
