Inside ASPPA

About the Award

The Edward E. Burrows Distinguished Achievement Award is presented annually to a pension actuary who has, by his or her actions, set an example for other pension actuaries. It recognizes an actuary who has gone above and beyond in advancing ethics, education, beneficial legislation or regulations that enhance the private pension system, or the professionalism of enrolled actuaries within that system. 

The award is named after Ed Burrows who was a beacon in this regard; ASEA intends the award to recognize those who follow his example.
 
Nominations are accepted every year by the Education & Examination Committee for ASPPA's Educator's Award. The award recognizes outstanding educators from the ASPPA membership who have made significant contributions to retirement plan education. Educator's Award recipients are invited to attend ASPPA’s Annual Conference where they receive a commemorative plaque. Articles about awardees are featured in ASPPA Connect.
