Nell Hennessy was the “definitive source of knowledge” on every aspect of the benefits world and made a number of contributions for employees throughout the years, according to industry leaders.
Hennessy, who many described as a champion for employee benefits for the past 30 years, died Feb. 4 at age 61.
She was posthumously honored last week by the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans with this year’s public service award for her “outstanding contribution to and concern for the benefit of others through support and advancement of employee benefit programs.”
