WASHINGTON BUREAU — Marvin Feldman, president of the Life and Health Insurance Foundation for Education, will be the recipient of the 70th annual John Newton Russell Memorial Award.
The National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors (NAIFA), Falls Church, Va., plans to give the reward to Feldman in September in Washington, at NAIFA’s annual meeting.
Jeffrey Taggart, chairman of the award committee, says the award is like an insurance industry version of the Oscar, except that “we give out only one each year.”
The award “recognizes the best of the best, and Marv is a very deserving member of this elite group,” Taggart says.
