The National Association of Government Defined Contribution Administrators (NAGDCA) is now seeking moderators, facilitators and panelists for its 2007 Annual Conference in Indian Wells, California on September 15-19, 2007. This year's theme is Saving for a Brighter Future: An Oasis of Possibilities. Through the hard work of the 2007 planning committee, the conference is sure to be an educational experience, and will offer clarification on many ongoing issues including the Pension Protection Act of 2006.
