“Make an Impact,” the theme for the 2013 NAPA/ASPPA 401(k) summit that began yesterday in Las Vegas, may have sounded more like an exhortation to the nearly 1,400 pension professionals attending the event — but an appeal that many appear to have every intention of acting upon. Threats to the 401(k) from Washington were chronicled in the opening session by ASPPA CEO Brian Graff and others.
But before attendees were briefed on that grim subject, they were informed by NAPA President Marcy Supovitz that NAPA membership now totals 4,100 individual members along with 82 corporate partners — a dozen of which signed up in 2013. “We’re barely past our first birthday and we have become a powerhouse,” she said.
