2009 Leadership Awards from Coast-to-Coast
This is truly an Around the Country article which reaches from coast-to-coast. At the 2009 NAGDCA Annual Conference, 54 plans from across the country were recognized for their innovative and outstanding achievements in celebrating National Save for Retirement Week, effective communication, and/or plan design & administration in defined contribution/deferred compensation.
The NAGDCA Leadership Recognition Awards were established in 2000 to highlight plans who are making huge strides in improving communication and education about their defined contribution/deferred compensation plans. A special Award of Distinction was presented to the top three plans in each category.
Nominations from both government and industry members came pouring in as soon as nominations opened. All nominees ranging from 401(k) to 403(b) to 457 plans, whose innovations have resulted in a sound improvement in their plans, were recognized with an award at the 2009 Annual Conference.
2008-2009 NAGDCA President, Alex Turner, presents San Bernardino County, CA with two Awards of Distinction.
