The 401(k) Champion competition is a national search for three 401(k) participants to be named 401(k) Champions^® for 2023. The award is open to all ages 21 or older who currently participate in their 401(k)s. There is no cost to apply. Three 401(k) Champions^® will be chosen. See 401kchampion.com for more information.

Rationale for the 401(k) Champion^® Competition

It became clear to financial literacy proponent Julie Jason, JD, LLM, a sponsor of the award, that educated 401(k) participants are in the best position to motivate their co-workers.

“That’s what the competition is intended to do — to identify 401(k) participants who have figured out that with a 401(k), retirement security is infinitely more attainable, even if an employee doesn’t think he can afford to participate,” said Ms. Jason.

“The best motivation comes from a peer who shares his story,” stated Ms. Jason. Read what prior 401(k) champions had to offer:

• Robert Brokamp, a 2021 401(k) Champion^® wrote: “I love the spirit of the 401(k) Champion^® Award. It acknowledges that everyday employees can be motivators and educators, improving retirement security for themselves and their coworkers.” Brokamp is a senior adviser and an author at The Motley Fool.

• Alexander, a 2022 401(k) Champion^® said: “Becoming a 401(k) Champion^® only makes me more resolved to keep paying forward the wisdom my co-workers shared with me.”

Note to Employers

Encourage 401(k) participants to get together to talk about their 401(k)s and to compete for the title of 401(k) Champion^®.
