NAGDCASTS, audio conferences with visual presentations accessible through the Internet, were introduced by NAGDCA in 2002 as part of its educational initiative to offer insights into retirement plan administration through time and cost-effective methods. Designed for those with limited time and budgets, hundreds of participants around the country can join NAGDCA's educational sessions right from their desktops.

NAGDCA is the country's leading organization of defined contribution retirement plan administrators and financial service providers. It represents nearly every state deferred compensation plan, as well as numerous other governmental and public sector defined contribution plans, and over 105 companies in the financial services industry. Its mission is to focus on retirement planning for public sector employees participating in 457, 403(b), 401(a) and 401(k) retirement plans; assets in these plans tripled during the 1990's.
