Celebrate and network at the Barnes Foundation as Mr. Ted Benna and other industry leaders address retirement professionals on the landmark legislation that protects the retirement savings of millions of Americans.
With some $39.9 trillion in U.S. retirement assets, one cannot overstate the impact ERISA* has on the U.S. economy, let alone on retirement savings plans like 401(k)’s. The 50th Anniversary of ERISA Gala honors the many individuals and firms committed to ensuring that employees in plans receive their promised benefits reliably and responsibly.
Sponsored by the Greater Philadelphia Area ASPPA Benefits Council, the preeminent local trade group for retirement professionals, the Gala features a museum tour, insights into the early days of ERISA from area professionals, as well as the keynote address from Mr. Benna.
The Greater Philadelphia area is home to many professionals whose careers are grounded in ERISA. They celebrate the contributions made to the greater Philadelphia community of retirement-oriented businesses such as third-party administrators (TPAs), recordkeepers, actuaries, attorneys, accountants, financial advisors, investment managers, and benefits consultants. Their generous sponsors include The Capital Group; The Principal; Vanguard; Inspira Financial, Belfint, Lyons & Shuman; Limestone Pension Associates; Magis Financial Partners; Littler Mendelson; Nationwide Financial; Wealth Advisory Group Inc.; John Hancock; Dietrich Annuity; and RTD Financial Advisors.
