The American Society of Pension Professionals & Actuaries is changing its ASPPA Journal to Plan Consultant magazine.

"Since 1997, The ASPPA Journal has served as the official publication of ASPPA with a focus on technical content. A survey of ASPPA's growing community of diverse retirement professionals prompted the redesign of the publication from a scholarly journal to a less formal magazine format. ASPPA has grown as an organization and our magazine reflects that evolution from first The Pension Actuary newsletter issued in 1975, to The ASPPA Journal in 1997, and now Plan Consultant magazine," said Robert Richter ASPPA president.

The quarterly magazine will continue to help retirement plan professionals improve their skills, enhance their knowledge, and conduct their business in a way that is professional, ethical, efficient and creative. Written by industry leaders and experienced retirement planning professionals, Plan Consultant has been retooled to provide practical, how-to processes and case studies that retirement plan professionals can use in their own practices.
