Adviser of the Year Awards

Each year, Employee Benefit Adviser magazine grants annual awards to recognize excellence and innovation in three areas of the field:

• Employee Benefit Adviser of the Year
• Health Plan Adviser of the Year
• Retirement Plan Adviser of the Year
• Voluntary Benefits Adviser of the Year

All four awards recognize outstanding service to group benefit plan sponsors by their brokers or advisers. They seek to honor not just sales performance, but other factors that determine advisers’ true value to their clients as trusted advisers.

Each award is presented to the nominee who has demonstrated a consistent pattern of innovation and achievement in benefit plan sales, consulting, and/or leadership, as well as overall contributions to the profession.

Among the more specific things we’re looking for:

• Business growth, expressed in annual revenue or number of clients served.
• Performance against client expectations — how well the adviser helped the client meet its objectives.
• Impact on group members’ health, satisfaction, and financial security.

We’re also looking for innovation and vision in presenting the products and services best suited to meeting employers' objectives.

The winner of the Employee Benefit Adviser of the Year award will win a tropical getaway* and up to $750 in travel expenses to attend the 2011 EBA Summit to receive the award. Presentation of the award will be a highlight of the 2011 EBA Summit, which will be held Sept. 25-27 in Dallas. Additionally, the award winner will be profiled in the September issue of the magazine. The winner will be chosen from the nominees for the Health Plan, Retirement Plan and Voluntary Benefits Adviser of the Year awards. *Travel voucher valued at $3,000

The winner of the Health Plan Adviser of the Year and Retirement Plan Adviser of the Year award will receive an Apple Store gift card valued at $1,000 and up to $750 in travel expenses to attend the 2011 EBA Summit to receive the award.
