The National Academy of Social Insurance (NASI) has accepted 45 distinguished new members bringing the total active membership to over 1,000. Two of those new members are the Department's own John Graves, PhD, and David Stevenson, PhD.
"At a time when U.S. social insurance programs are continuously capturing headlines and the attention of policymakers, the Academy looks forward to recognizing, engaging, and sustaining the expertise of new members," said NASI President G. Lawrence Atkins. "These dedicated public servants, business leaders, legal experts, professors, and administrators have played an important role in strengthening social insurance and economic security for Americans."
Academy members are recognized experts in Social Security, Medicare and health coverage, workers' compensation, unemployment insurance, and related social assistance and private employee benefits. Individuals selected for membership have distinguished themselves by improving the quality of research, administration, or policymaking in one or more of these areas. Members of the Academy volunteer their time to study panels, advisory committees, conferences, and they participate in NASI's other research, education, communication, and leadership development initiatives.
