Deeply saddened to hear about the passing of William E. Spriggs. He was a member of our benefits modernization advisory group, and a persistent and deeply insightful leader focused squarely on improving the financial lives of workers. He will be missed.

So delighted at the incredible leaders gathered with us today, especially the state/local leaders in 25 (!!!) states who have flown in for deep work to improve public benefits delivery!
