Houston, TX, October 26, 2021 - Nova’s own Craig Hoffman was recognized last week at the American Society of Pension Professionals & Actuaries Annual Conference with its lifetime achievement award, the Harry T. Eidson Founders Award.

The award was established in 1995 in honor of ASPPA’s founder, Harry T. Eidson, whose belief in the importance of the private pension system in the United States led him to build an organization committed to not only safeguarding, but enhancing that system.

The award is given annually to recognize individuals who have made significant contributions to ASPPA and/or the private pension system.

“Don’t ever lose sight of the fact the work we do does make a difference. You are helping Americans save so they can financially secure retirement,“ said Hoffman in accepting the award.

He was particularly gratified by the fact that his wife, Joyce Hoffman, (whom he met at an ASPPA conference) and his daughter and son-in-law, Mary and Lemm, were in attendance, noting that ASPPA “has not just been an important part of my professional life, it has played a significant role in my personal life!”

Nova congratulates Craig for being recognized by his industry peers and salute his tireless dedication to his craft.
