TTAC Tribal Pension Subcommittee Survey
The TTAC Tribal Pension Subcommittee has recently released a survey to research the impacts of Tribal pension programs on the general welfare of Tribal Nations. The survey consists of multiple questions focused on pensions, benefits, and retirement programs of Tribal Nations. Participation in the survey is voluntary and participants will not receive compensation of any kind for completing the survey. Also, to protect participant confidentiality the survey will not contain information that will be personally identifiable.
The survey should be completed by individuals, employees, and representatives of Tribal Nations over the age of 18 who work in the fields of finance, human resources, law, or employment policy. This research is being conducted by Eric S. Trevan, Pd.D on behalf of the TTAC Tribal Pension Subcommittee. The survey will be open until June 30, 2021 at 11:59pm PT.
