Ice Miller partners Nicole Giambarrese and Audra Ferguson will be participating in a members-only webinar titled "The Federal Government and Public Plans: A Legal Update" for the National Council on Teacher Retirement. 

Webinar Description:

Navigating federal requirements can be challenging for public pension plans, even when ERISA does not apply. Federal laws, regulations, and policy guidance continue to play a critical role in plan administration and governance, and compliance missteps can result in penalties, reputational risk, and unwanted public scrutiny.

Staying current on federal developments is especially important as state and local governing bodies consider changes to retirement system statutes, rules, and regulations. Timely, accurate legal insight can help plan sponsors anticipate issues, avoid future complications, and make well‑informed governance decisions.

Join NCTR’s upcoming webinar, where attorneys from Ice Miller, a valued NCTR member and Corporate Advisory Committee member, will provide an update on key federal legal issues affecting public retirement plans. The session will provide practical guidance and timely insights that plan administrators, trustees, and policymakers can apply with confidence.

Topics will include recent and emerging issues such as:

• Teacher return‑to‑work considerations
• Updated compliance deadlines for Title II ADA accessibility requirements affecting websites and mobile apps
• Other significant federal legal developments impacting public plans

Panelists:

• Audra Ferguson, Partner, Ice Miller Workplace Solutions
• Nicole Giambarrese, Partner, Ice Miller Workplace Solutions
• Leigh Snell, Federal Relations Director, NCTR
