Guides for Defined Contribution Plan Sponsors

We deal in an industry that is complex, and which continues to increase in complexity as time goes by. NAGDCA has put together a series of guides to help all plan sponsors develop deferred compensation plans that provide participants with financial security at retirement. The guides along with all NAGDCA resources provide plan sponsors with the strategic ability to balance the unique qualities of their own organization with the best practices of other plans in similar municipalities.
