We are proud to have an award recognition program dedicated to members who have contributed to the growth of the Association. The Member’s Award is presented annually in appreciation to top IARFC members who have sponsored the most qualified professional consultants that subsequently joined the ranks of the Association.
By encouraging these professional consultants to become members of the IARFC, these recipients help their peers tap into a premier network of value added benefits. Along with an engraved award of recognition, the winners will be listed in the Association’s publication the Register. A photo will be included as recognition of their efforts.
“This is a new appreciation program for the IARFC,” relates Awards Program Director Wendy Kennedy. “Along with the Loren Dunton Memorial Award and the Founder’s Award, it seeks to applaud the efforts of our distinguished members who believe in the IARFC Mission.”
The 2016 first place winner is Michael D. Piershale, RFC® of Piershale Financial Group in Crystal Lake, IL. With more than 30 years of experience, Mike has extensive knowledge in key areas of financial planning and works with clients on retirement and estate planning, portfolio management, and insurance needs.
