The 2012 Annual Conference Committee has finalized the conference agenda and is now seeking moderators, facilitators and panelists for the various available sessions. NAGDCA's greatest asset is its membership and the wealth of experience, knowledge and history of success they represent.  We are offering track sessions again this year (Track A) designed to help facilitate the sharing of this wisdom to our newer members as well as those who may have recently acquired new duties and responsibilities relative to their Plan. The interactive sessions will focus on the free exchange of concepts, tools, methods and objectives concerning 457 plan design and participant communications. The panels will respond to questions, concerns and challenges as posed by session attendees. This is a great opportunity to hear from your more experienced peers about lessons learned. Track B is for Administrators with 5 or more years of experience in the industry. On other days of the conference, the sessions will not be divided by tracks.

The committee has identified session topics and is soliciting for moderators and speakers from all government, industry, and student members according to the criteria listed below:
