The U. S. Department of Labor is extending to Oct. 15 its solicitation
for nominees to fill five vacancies on the Advisory Council on Employee Welfare
and Pension Benefit Plans. Earlier applicants for the positions do not need to
reapply.
The advisory council is bipartisan with 15 members appointed by the
secretary of labor to represent a wide range of interests in the employee
benefits area. The council submits policy recommendations on administration of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) and advises the secretary
on implementing the recommendations.
Nominations are being accepted for five vacancies representing employer
organizations (multiemployer), investment management, corporate trust, employee
organizations and the general public (pensioners). The terms of the five
members of the council expire on Nov. 14.
Members must be qualified to appraise ERISA programs. Appointments are
for three years of service to the council. The council meets -- at a minimum --
four times a year.
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 made by an
organization, the organization's representative making the recommendation.
Nominees should be identified by name, occupation or position, telephone number
and address. The nomination also should briefly describe the candidate's
qualifications, the group or field the candidate would represent, political
affiliation and availability.
Nominations should be submitted by Oct. 15 to Sharon Morrissey, acting
executive secretary, ERISA Advisory Council, Frances Perkins Building, U. S.
Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Ave., N. W., Suite N-5677, Washington. D.
C. 20210.
