Feedback Requested: New Retirement Benefit Exploration

LeadingAge Ohio is exploring offering a Multiple Employer Plan (MEP) as a member benefit. An MEP is a retirement plan shared by multiple, unrelated employers under a single plan. A LeadingAge Ohio-sponsored MEP would:

• Help members attract and retain top talent with robust retirement offerings.
• Reduce the compliance and fiduciary burden on individual members.
• Deliver economies of scale that lower fees and improve investment options.
• Allow for individual member plan design flexibility with contributions, matches, vesting schedules, etc.

To aid in this exploration, we are asking organization leaders to complete this brief survey by Friday, July 31.
