Washington, DC - The U.S. Department of Labor is
soliciting nominations to fill five three-year vacancies on the Advisory
Council on Employee Welfare and Pension Benefit Plans, known as the ERISA
Advisory Council. The deadline for receipt of nominations is October 1,
2004. |
Under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), the bipartisan
council consists of 15 members appointed by the Secretary of Labor to
represent specified groups and fields that are involved in employee
benefits. The council meets four times a year and makes recommendations to
the U.S. Secretary of Labor regarding functions carried out under ERISA. |
Nominations
are being accepted for one vacancy in each of the following groups or
fields: |
|
Interested persons or organizations may nominate
qualified persons for membership. Recommendations must be submitted by
letter, resolution or petition and signed by the person or, in the case of
a nomination by an organization, by the group’s representative making
the recommendation. The nomination should briefly describe the candidate’s
qualifications, the group or field the candidate is being nominated for,
the candidate’s political party affiliation and availability to serve.
This information is requested because ERISA mandates that no more than
eight members of the council may represent one political party. |
Nominations
should be submitted to Debra Golding, ERISA Advisory Council, Room N-5656,
U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Ave., N.W., Washington, DC
