FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 22, 2006
CONTACT: Tracy Tucker Phone: (859) 514-9210 Fax: (859) 514-9188 E-mail: info@nagdca.org (Lexington, KY) - The National Association of Government Defined Contribution Administrators, Inc. (NAGDCA) is pleased to announce the start of National Save for Retirement Week (October 22-28, 2006). The National Save for Retirement Week has been one of NAGDCA's leading initiatives for 2006. "We are extremely excited that the Senate passed the resolution to recognize Save for Retirement Week. It is an extremely important tool in heightening the awareness and importance of saving for one's retirement", stated Ralph Marsh, NAGDCA President. "We anticipate that this will be a prime opportunity for plan sponsors and plan administrators to provide educational events and promotional activities for retirement plans across the country." Many Americans have some form of retirement plan available to them, but with the lack of awareness and education, the process of saving for retirement can be perceived as somewhat cumbersome and frightening. The institution of a National Save for Retirement Week will provide the opportunity for plan administrators and plan sponsors to alleviate much of this perception through educational fairs, seminars and promoting the overall importance of planning and saving for a secure retirement. Please visit www.nagdca.org/RetirementWeek to follow developing news and view sample materials for National Save for Retirement Week. NAGDCA's mission is to unite representatives from state and local governments along with private sector organizations that service and support governmental 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. |
