Charles J. Clark of West Windsor, a senior vice president and retirement practice leader for the greater Philadelphia area, was selected by the President and members of Congress to be a delegate at the final of three summits called for by the “Savings are Vital to Everyone’s Retirement Act of 1997” (SAVER Act).##M:[more]##
The 2006 National Summit is a public/private partnership planned by the U.S. Department of Labor and the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans, in consultation with the Administration and Congress. The summit in early March in Washington, D.C., focused on the retirement savings challenges of four targeted groups — new entrants in the workforce, workers nearing retirement, low-income workers, and small business employees. Summit delegates were charged with identifying the central issues encountered by these four groups, and analyzing possible strategies to enable workers and their families to overcome their savings obstacles.
In 2004 Clark was appointed to the actuarial counseling position of the ERISA Advisory Council, a group that advises the U.S. Secretary of Labor on Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) matters. Clark is also a member of the ERISA Industry Committee’s (ERIC) subcommittee on Retirement Security, Financial Executives International’s (FEI) subcommittee on Employee Benefits Finance and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Subcommittee on Retirement Benefits.
He is an associate of the Society of Actuaries, an Enrolled Actuary, a member of the Pension Section of the Society of Actuaries, and a member of the American Academy of Actuaries.
Clark graduated with honors from the State University of New York at Albany with a bachelor of science degree in mathematics and a minor in chemistry.
