Member Voices
What DCIIA means to our community.
"I have been particularly impressed by DCIIA’s diversity and inclusion initiatives. They have advanced this work with a level of purpose and intentionality that seeks to enhance access to retirement security for all American workers."

"I think DCIIA is one of the best-kept secrets in the advisor community. Membership requires a nominal investment for the return. It really pays for itself in that you get ongoing access to insights from the top people in the retirement industry. My senior ERISA consultant tells me he’s locked down when it comes to our DCIIA membership – there’s no way we can go without the access to people and thought leadership that it provides."

“When you have the opportunity to participate in an organization like DCIIA, you feel like you’re having an impact. That feeling inspires you to keep coming back, keep being involved. This is a group with a passion for defined contribution.”

“I believe we are doing meaningful work at DCIIA that is pushing the industry forward. What I absolutely love is that individuals — who in their day jobs might be direct competitors — can come together, collaborate, and learn from each other.”

"DCIIA brings together an esteemed mix of practitioners, researchers, and policymakers who are genuinely focused on improving retirement outcomes. Being part of this community has given me access to thoughtful content, candid conversations, and relationships that help us stay grounded in what truly matters for savers."
