ATLANTA, Georgia, April 23, 2019 – David Williams, executive vice president and manager of the ESOP fiduciary services team at Argent Trust Company in Atlanta, has been appointed to the fiduciary advisory committee of The ESOP Association. The trade organization provides advocacy for and education about employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs) — a form of retirement plan often offered at closely held companies that gives employees an ownership interest.
In his role on the committee, which is made up of financial and legal industry professionals, Williams will tackle fiduciary issues related to ESOPs.
The ESOP Association, established in 1978, is the largest national nonprofit organization of its kind dedicated to enhancing federal laws involving ESOPs. The association has approximately 2,900 members, mostly employers with ESOPs and professionals who create and implement the plans, such as trustees, law firms, valuation firms, investment bankers and accounting firms.=
Williams has more than four decades of experience as a lawyer, focusing on matters related to employee benefits and executive compensation. He speaks and writes about ESOPs and other employee benefit plan and executive compensation issues both locally and nationally.
