For Immediate Release

William K. Ecklund, Chairman of the Board for Felhaber, Larson, Fenlon & Vogt law firm, has been named as a delegate to the Second National Summit on Retirement Savings. The Summit will be convened by President George W. Bush, and co-hosted by majority and minority leaders of Congress. The goal of the 2002 Summit is to develop detailed action plans that will encourage retirement savings. The Summit is the second of three summits called for by the "Savings Are Vital to Everyone's Retirement Act of 1997" (SAVER Act).

The vision of the Summit is to create an environment that will produce detailed action plans for targeted public education campaigns. With a goal of encouraging retirement savings, these campaigns will tailor approaches, messages and mediums that will address savings issues within each generation. The Summits' delegates will be broken into segmented groups in order to focus on a particular generation's unique circumstances. In addition to reaching the different generations through segmented approaches, special consideration will be paid to issues that cross generational lines. The Summit will be held February 27-March 1, 2002, in Washington, D.C.
