Retirement 20/20, an initiative sponsored by the Society of Actuaries’ Pension Section, aims to bring together experts interested
in and impacted by retirement issues in order to design a new retirement system from the ground up. In reaction to the shortcomings of
both traditional defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans, Retirement 20/20 seeks to find solutions that meet the economic
and demographic needs for the 21st century in North America.
