The winner of the 2013 NAPA 401(k) Advisor Leadership Award may be reading this right now. Is it you?
This annual leadership award recognizes the efforts of advisors to:
• serve their clients (plan sponsors and participants);
• act as mentors;
• maintain high ethical standards; and
• consistently improve their practices and services in the retirement industry.
Now in its sixth year, the 401(k) Advisor Leadership Award recognizes leadership, innovation and influence by a leading financial advisor in the 401(k) marketplace. Past recipients are known for going “above and beyond” to exemplify a key pursuit of ASPPA and NAPA — to directly impact the ability for Americans to build a successful retirement, especially through employer-based plans.
“The 401(k) Leadership Award is given to an advisor who demonstrates a keen stewardship for their clients and demonstrated record of successful guidance to both plan sponsors and participants,” says Paul D’Aiutolo, NAPA/ASPPA 401(k) SUMMIT Steering Committee co-chair and vice president, UBS Institutional Consulting Group. “I encourage advisors and plan sponsors to identify and nominate advisors that demonstrate these qualities. We believe this award can highlight the quality work retirement advisors provide every day to help Americans realize a secure retirement.”
The deadline for submitting nominations for the award has been extended until Nov. 9, 2012. Any individual or group of individuals — BD registered reps, RIAs, TPAs and product and service professionals — who are active as financial advisors of 401(k) plans are eligible. NAPA or ASPPA membership is not required.
Three finalists will be named in January 2013; the winner will receive the 401(k) Advisor Leadership Award during a special general session of the 12th annual NAPA/ASPPA 401(k) SUMMIT in March 2013.
