The Communications and Education Committee is responsible for the development and implementation of special and on-going communications and education initiatives designed to improve the understanding and use of Stable Value investments in defined contribution plans and other tax-deferred retirement vehicles.
Communications and Education Committee include:
- Development and implementation of the Association’s media plan, including:
- Developing talking points and working papers on key issues.
- Designating technical experts as resources on key issues.
- When appropriate, issuing media responses to correct misconceptions or misstatements about Stable Value.
- Development and publication of Stable Times, a bi-annual publication, which is a source of information on Stable Value issues and a vehicle to keep the Association membership informed on SVIA initiatives and industry developments.
- Development of educational materials and other public relations materials that promote Stable Value with the public and policymakers.
- Development and maintenance of SVIA’s website. The website will be the source of Stable Value information for the general public on the Internet and an interactive vehicle for the SVIA membership to dialogue on key issues within the Association and the industry.
The committee’s work will be accomplished through two working groups: Stable Times Editorial Board and the Media Team.
