UK Retirement Planning Conference Honored by the Plan Sponsor Council of America
LEXINGTON, Ky. (June 23, 2020) — Last month, the Plan Sponsor Council of America (PSCA), part of the American Retirement Association (ARA), announced the winners of its 2020 Signature Awards competition. PSCA is the leading association of defined contribution plan sponsors in the U.S.
A panel of 25 business leaders evaluated and selected the winners of the 2020 Signature Awards from 120 entries in 11 categories. The University of Kentucky received second place honors in the Event and Workshops category, acknowledging the success of the 2019 Retirement Planning Conference, which was held in October 2019 and co-hosted by TIAA. This marks the first time that UK has been recognized by the PSCA.
“We are sharing the spotlight with companies such as Nestle, Best Buy and California Institute of Technology. This is a prestigious group of competitors and the award indicates the value and ingenuity in the events we provide for our employees,” says Gail Carbol, benefits manager in UK Human Resources.
A recap of the award-winning 2019 event can be viewed here. The 2020 Retirement Planning Conference will be held Friday, Oct. 30. More information will be available soon. Meanwhile, those who would like to learn more about UK’s retirement planning options can find more details here.
