Retirement Plan Design Survey Postcard

A postcard will be mailed or e-mailed today (based on the electronic delivery election on file) to active and retired clergy participants in Wespath-administered retirement plans. It notifies participants that they will receive an invitation to participate in the online retirement plan design survey, which is available from March 7-April 4.

Wespath is committed to ensuring our retirement plans balance the needs of our participants and plan sponsors. This survey will inform decisions about potential changes to participant benefits. Please encourage your participants to provide candid feedback.

Additional information about the plan design survey will be shared at the Conference Forum event in March. If you have questions, please contact:
