Government Defined Contribution Leaders Meet with Congressional and Federal Representatives

The National Association of Government Defined Contribution Administrators, Inc. (NAGDCA)'s Executive Board met with key congressional staff and treasury department officials on March 10 & 11th, 2008.

During their meetings with key Senate and House offices, congressional tax committee staff, and the Department of the Treasury, the board discussed technical corrections to the Pension Protection Act of 2006 and asked for continued support for the National Save for Retirement Week resolution. The House and the Senate unanimously passed a resolution in 2007 and NAGDCA is working to get a resolution passed again this year. NAGDCA also met with Treasury officials to discuss.

"As the voice of state and local governmental defined contribution plans, it is important NAGDCA show support for legislation and proposals that further the defined contribution industry and benefit plan participants," said Mindy Harris, NAGDCA President .
