The award is one of the industry’s most prestigious, and identifies brokers and consultants who stand out from the crowd, help shape the industry and provide extraordinary client service.
Garfield, a Chicago native, has more than 37 years of experience in the employee benefits industry delivering on strategy with his clients. Garfield’s success is aided by his lifelong commitment to learning and continuous development, earning designations represent more than fifteen years of advanced study in this industry.
“This is a well-deserved honor for Fred, and a reflection of his strong leadership and passion for our industry; Fred’s unwavering commitment to his clients and our industry are an example for all to follow,” said Glenn Horton, CEO of the Horton Group.
