Plan Health & Retirement Readiness

             7:30am - 9:30am

             Maggiano's DTC

             7401 South Clinton Street

             Englewood, CO  80112

Plan health and participant retirement readiness are key challenges in the retirement industry today. The decline of the defined benefit plan and the uncertainty of Social Security have put the focus on the defined contribution (DC) plan as the primary retirement vehicle for Americans. What does the next generation retirement plan look like? Are there new ways to help employees use the DC plan to become retirement ready?

Presented by Amanda L. Arthur, AIF, PRP, Partner at 401k Squared, and Brandon Rutledge, QKA, Director of Sales at REPTECH, this informative breakfast meeting will address the following factors to help drive healthy outcomes:

                   Key characteristics of the “new” retirement plan
                   The next generation of plan health metrics
                   Driving participant action for better outcomes

Join us as we host this seminar open to retirement plan intermediaries and plan sponsors —and be sure to come prepared with questions for the Q&A session concluding the event.

Space is limited.
