Retirement Security for All: Overcoming Unequal Tax Incentives for Retirement Savings


9:30 - 11:00 AM EST



Please join the Center for American Progress and the Corporation for Enterprise Development (CFED) for a discussion on tax incentives for retirement savings. This event will address the ways that the tax code greatly encourages retirement savings by high-income earners but has fewer incentives for middle-class savers, and will discuss savings policy changes that have the potential to build retirement security for a greater number of Americans. Senator Elizabeth Warren will give remarks with a panel discussion, including audience Q and A, to follow.

Introductions:
Bob Friedman, Founder and Chair, CFED
Winnie Stachelberg, Executive Vice President for External Affairs, Center for American Progress

Featured speaker:
Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA)

The Honorable Earl Pomeroy (D-ND), Former U.S. Congressman; Senior Counsel, Alston & Bird LLP

Moderated by:
Ida Rademacher, Chief Program Officer, CFED
