"If I meet someone that was becoming a trustee, I would certainly tell them they need to be a member of the International Foundation, no question. They should attend the Foundation's conferences. I would recommend Foundation membership without hesitation. I'm not aware of any other organization that provides a package of services and educational opportunities like the Foundation does."

"I have spent twenty-five years on several joint Trustee Boards which were responsible for both defined benefit and defined contribution pension plans as well as several comprehensive employee benefits programs. Shortly after first taking on these responsibilities, I had the good fortune to be introduced to the International Foundation and quickly discovered what an invaluable resource of education, information and networking it offers. I thoroughly enjoyed my years in the employee benefit field, and to a very large degree, I owe my success to the International Foundation. It provides a phenomenal opportunity for everyone in the field to share, learn, stay current and network and generally enhances our ability to do our jobs better."

"I find the programs very valuable; I’ve been involved in the business for almost twenty years now. And what I find is that the due diligence that is required by trustees has increased significantly and without the tools that the IF provides such as ATMS. Trustees could not do their job properly."
