ORS earned national recognition for two major efforts. 

• Eddy Awards: ORS and Voya earned third place in the Pensions & Investments Eddy Awards, a long-standing national program recognizing excellence in retirement education. The judges and independent panel of plan sponsors and consultants honored the “How Do I …?” campaign for its clear, targeted guidance that improved participant understanding of their retirement plan as well as taking specific actions. 
• Blue Pencil & Gold Screen Awards: ORS also earned third place for the creative “Scare Proof Your Retirement” campaign from the National Association of Government Communicators. The campaign was active in October during National Retirement Security Month and used a Halloween scary movie theme to boost financial wellness engagement. 

Both awards reflect ORS’ commitment to accessible, impactful retirement education.
