Award Presented at The ASPPA 401(k) SUMMIT
ARLINGTON, VA (February 13, 2012)—The American Society of Pension Professionals & Actuaries (ASPPA) announced today the names of three finalists in the running for the 401(k) Advisor Leadership Award sponsored by Morningstar and ASPPA. The award recognizes significant accomplishments by a leading financial advisor in the 401(k) marketplace.
Sponsored by Morningstar, Inc., a leading provider of independent investment research, and ASPPA, the leader in retirement education and advocacy, the award reflects the multi-faceted efforts of advisors to serve their clients (plan sponsors and participants), act as mentors, maintain high ethical standards, and innovate in the retirement industry. Within these criteria, finalists were also judged on how they employ their expertise to help working Americans build their retirement future through the private pension system.
The three 2012 finalists are: Joshua P. Itzoe, partner and managing director at Greenspring Wealth Management Inc., in Towson, Md.; Jim Phillips & Patrick McGinn, president & vice president (respectively) of Retirement Resources Investment Corp., in Peabody, Mass.; and the team of Plan Sponsor Advisors, LLC., in Chicago, Ill.
One of these three finalists will receive the 2012 401(k) Advisor Leadership Award during a special session of The ASPPA 401(k) SUMMIT 2012 on March 18 in New Orleans, La. Finalists were selected from more than 80 nominations submitted by their peers and colleagues in the retirement industry.
