AAPD Gala Event March 14, 2010
Structured Settlement Industry rallies for disability rights
Structured settlement professionals from across the nation came to Washington, DC this week to lend their support for people with disabilities. The occasion was the American Association of People with Disabilities’ Annual Gala, which featured several Members of Congress, officials from the Obama Administration and music legend Stevie Wonder.
“Few issues are more important to the structured settlement industry than providing economic opportunity for accident survivors,” said NSSTA president Dan Durbin of Allstate Life Insurance Co. “But a solid financial footing by itself is not enough and that’s where AAPD comes in. Andy Imparato and the AAPD are doing noble work to offer a vibrant future for millions of Americans with disabilities.”
Calling structured settlements “a model benefit because there’s no financial disincentive if the person with a disability chooses to go back to work,” AAPD president Andrew Imparato welcomed NSSTA members not only to the Gala dinner but also to a luncheon at the U.S. Capitol with Sen. Tom Harkin (Iowa). NSSTA members in attendance included John McCulloch of EPS Settlements Group, Inc.
