This week I had the honor and pleasure to interview Stephen McCaffrey, Chairman of the Board of the Plan Sponsor Council of America. His refreshing answers played in brilliant contrast to last week’s incessant media cavalcade of regulators and industry spokesmen. McCaffrey’s comments made me think: Aren’t plan sponsors the people we should be listening to? And by “we” I mean regulators, the industry and media reporters.
