Central Conference Forum Presentations Available

We were so pleased to be able to be with you all in Kenya in mid-November and were thrilled to have many of the returning folks and those that have had significant visa challenges and not been able to join us in some of the previous meetings. By our count, of the 37 folks that were able to attend, 21 had attended previously while 16 individuals attended their first CCP Forum. We very much valued the perspectives and contributions of many of the key pension leaders that joined us for the first time.

Here is the link to access the Presentation Materials from this event for those that may want to review and print copies whether you were able or unable to attend the Forum:

• Wespath Perspectives on the U.S UMC
• Willis Towers Watson Presentation – CCP Program and Global Trends
• Board of Pensions – Practices and Challenges

Central Conference Pension Plan Individual Zoom Meetings

For those plans and areas that were not able to attend the Forum, we are offering the opportunity to have a Zoom meeting with the Wespath staff at your convenience. Additionally, while we conducted over 15 1:1 meetings while in Kenya, for those that did not meet with the Wespath staff, we are also available to connect with you and other key pension leaders from your areas as well. Should you wish to request a 45 minute zoom meeting, please send an email requesting a meeting to rlundstrom@wespath.org.

Contact Information for General Conference Delegates

As was mentioned at the recent Forum in Nairobi, our Wespath Team is exploring ways of obtaining contact information and offering hospitality for your General Conference delegates while at the meeting in Charlotte, North Carolina. Therefore, we are asking for your help. We would be grateful for your assistance in gathering the names and email/contact information of the delegates or let us know who we should contact to gather the information. You can provide the information to rlundstrom@wespath.org at your earliest convenience.
