By John Sullivan W e're proud to introduce the first group of this year's " Top Advisor by Participant Outcomes " designees. As in year's past, they continue to demonstrate creativity, enthusiasm and genuine concern for the financial futures of the plan sponsors and participants whom they serve. They act in the best interests of their clients, while raising the bar for the industry as a whole. While unsurprising, it's nonetheless still inspiring that they're able to do so during the COVID-19 pandemic and social and political unrest, another testament that their techniques (and business models) endure and are there when needed most. Simply put, they're making an impact on their clients and communities, and we're honored to feature this next group of monthly selections. We look forward to hearing about how innovative professionals are solving for successful outcomes with clients. We're therefore always looking for great entries and ideas. To be considered for a feature in the magazine, on the website and in the running for our " Top Advisor by Participant Outcomes " for the year, send nominations and/or submissions to John Sullivan at jsullivan@401kspecialist.com.
