The Patron Saint of Social Security

"Elaine has been the patron saint of the Social Security world. She has been a leader not only for myself but my firm as somebody we can go to both on the website and through her columns and now meeting her in person. She is a wealth of information. She communicates that very, very effectively. She understands where we are out in the world trying to work with our clients and she keeps an open eye to that relationship and she reinforces, validates and underscores. She's just been marvelous. It's been a pleasure having her teach me for these two days.''
—Jeff Young
