About Howard Fluhr

For more than 50 years Howard has been a living embodiment of Segal’s mission, vision and values, devoting his entire career to promoting the importance of employee benefits for workers and for the broader economy.

Howard’s contribution to EBRI spans decades. He was a member of their Board of Trustees for 25 years and its Chair from 2001 to 2002.

In that regard, Howard has been a key link in Segal’s proud history with EBRI. We were one of the institute’s founding firms in 1978 and are the only one still fully intact with the same ownership form.

We are also the only firm that has had two EBRI Board Chairs who received the Lillywhite award: former Segal CEO Bob Paul and, now, Howard.
