The NASP Institute -- During the 20th Annual Pension and Financial Services Conference in Atlanta, GA, particular emphasis will be placed on the unique needs of plan sponsors. In order to present a more valuable learning experience, NASP has created The NASP Institute, a one-day program that will be held on June 10, 2009. The Institute will provide plan sponsors - regardless of level of experience - an opportunity to enrich their knowledge of investing and fiduciary responsibility.

NASP has assembled a distinguished panel of practitioners and scholars to deliver a robust curriculum. Institute participants will learn key investment concepts, discuss industry trends, explore strategies to weather economic turmoil, and be provided vital tools to reduce the possibility of becoming prey to an investment scam. If you are a plan sponsor looking for an exclusive opportunity for practical education, don't miss the NASP Institute.

Additionally, the conference planning committee has assembled an impressive group of plan sponsor advisors. These leaders have graciously agreed to attend the conference, review and provide comments on the trustee education program content developed by the trustee planning committee, and encourage other plan sponsors and staff to attend the event.
