Burrows</A>] Distinguished Achievement Award is to be presented annually to a pension actuary who has, by their actions, set an example for other pension actuaries. This is an actuary that has gone above and beyond in forwarding ethics, education, beneficial legislation or regulations (or such other actions as the selection committee deems appropriate) that enhance the private pension system, or the professionalism of enrolled actuaries within the private pension system. Ed was a beacon in this regard, and ACOPA honors him by presenting an award that recognizes those who follow his path and lead by his example. <br> <p> The 2012 Ed Burrows award winner was <A href="/Document-Vault/PDFs/JIMHOLLANDBIO.aspx" target=_self>James E.
