About Our 2022 Honoree

NAEPC is pleased to honor Richard G. Chalifoux, JD, AEP® with the inaugural Robert E. Fox, CLU®, AEP® Volunteer Service Award.  Rick was nominated by two individuals in recognition of his service to his affiliated local estate planning council (Nassau County, NY Estate Planning Council) and dedicated efforts to keep its members engaged during the pandemic while working simultaneously on behalf of NAEPC to grow relationships between the national organization and the councils in his territory.

This honor is especially impactful because Rick had the priviledge of working with the award's namesake within his local council many years ago.  Watch the award ceremony HERE.
