Kutak Rock partner Michelle Ueding will co-present “Consistently Adapting Your Retirement Plan Governance” at the SACUBO’s 2025 Annual Meeting on April 14 from 1:30 to 2:20 p.m. (ET). The presentation will detail how to govern retirement plans in wake of recent, impactful ERISA litigation and other industry changes. 

The presentation will be a panel discussion on how retirement plan fiduciary committees at higher education institutions are structured, the best ways to manage risk, and the hot topics committees are discussing including use of plan forfeitures, financial wellness, and participant investment advice.

The learning objectives of the presentation are:

• Explaining common retirement governance structures and committee membership used by institutions
• Understanding how to best define the issues that should go to a fiduciary committee and those that should be handled outside the meeting
• Applying fiduciary rules to issues in the news as well as potential issues to know what to address and document in the future
