(NAGDCA) is currently accepting nominations for its 2006 Media Recognition Award. Nominations are due on July 14, 2006 and can be submitted online at http://www.nagdca.org/media/media_award.cfm. This annual award is presented to a member of the media for outstanding coverage of pension and retirement issues in newspapers, magazines, national newsletters or research reports. "NAGDCA established the Media Recognition Award in 2001 as a way of recognizing members of the media that do a great job of covering the government defined contribution industry," says Della Williamson, NAGDCA President. "Public sector plans have unique features that are often misunderstood and NAGDCA believes it is important to recognize the efforts of the media to clearly and accurately report our issues." Nominations may be made by media publishers and/or reporters, or directly from the NAGDCA membership. The award is given for a specific article or outstanding cumulative coverage over the fiscal year, July 1, 2005 to June 30, 2006. NAGDCA members and the members of the media have been encouraged to submit published articles or reports that they believe have been particularly effective in discussing issues or concepts related to retirement issues generally and/or administration of defined contribution plans that relate to state or local governments and their employees. The 2006 award will be presented at this year's annual conference which is being held September 23 - 27, in Kansas City, MO. NAGDCA's mission is to unite representatives from state and local governments along with private sector organizations that service and support defined contribution plans. NAGDCA provides an environment to foster growth in professional development of its members through networking with peers, educational opportunities and information sharing that includes comprehensive publications, reports and surveys. NAGDCA will promote and support federal legislative initiatives for the advancement of retirement plans. |
