“I’m incredibly honored to join the previous distinguished recipients of The Eidson Award,” said Finnegan. “It is humbling to be recognized by my industry colleagues and by an organization which has led the retirement industry in both advocacy and education such as ASPPA.”
ASPPA established the Eidson Award in 1995 to honor the memory of its founder, Harry T. Eidson. His belief in the importance of the employer-sponsored retirement system in the United States and in having an organization dedicated to preserving and enhancing such a system was the inspiration for the formation of ASPPA in 1966.
