Learn how to 3D print molecules and learn how students are preserving ancient artifacts, crafting prostethics, and more. 

Then, at 10:30am, hear from our panel on how to really foster inclusion in STEAM. We hear so much about diversity, but how do we really foster it at all levels of the STEAM career pipeline, from K-16 through the executive level? Hear from successful leaders in academia, startups, and the corporate world on how they have fostered a culture of inclusion AND seen tangible growth in diverse candidates

Session Title:  Learn about the MassTLC Retirement Plan with MassTLC, UBS and Slavic 401k

Lunch will be provided at this session.

The new MassTLC Retirement Plan is a benefit available to MassTLC members in good standing. For participating companies, it offers all the advantages and flexibility of a stand-alone plan without the expenses, fiduciary liabilities and administrative responsibilities of managing your own plan. The plan pools participating employees across the program, thereby increasing the plan’s buying power and enabling small and mid-sized companies to offer a plan that is competitive with larger established firms.  

 

At this session, the UBS team will answer questions about how the plan works and the benefits of joining MassTLC's new Retirement Plan.

 

Who should attend: HR/Talent, CFO, CEO or anyone interested in adding a strong 401k product to your company's benefits package.
