Private Sector Defined Contribution Leaders Meet

NAGDCA held a special roundtable meeting for Industry members in April in Washington, D.C. The members gathered to hear from federal policy makers regarding legislative and regulatory developments that affect the defined contribution programs of state and local governments; as well as to discuss the legislative issues affecting the industry.

"Because of the important role the private sector plays in the defined contribution industry, it is important to bring legislative and operational leaders together to discuss and make recommendations on common issues," said Ralph Marsh, NAGDCA President.

Topics addressed included fee transparency, automatic enrollment, retiree healthcare, and SEC developments/mutual fund procedures as they relate to defined contribution plans.

NAGDCA Industry President, Brian McCleave, stated "The intent of the Roundtable was to provide a forum for Industry members to discuss debate and find common ground on administrative and legislative issues of importance. This is the third Roundtable for NAGDCA Industry members and it continues to prove itself as a valuable forum for the defined contribution community at large."
