MNPA is actively involved in the Raising Standards of Pension Administration initiative. This was established by the industry for the industry to provide tools that help schemes deliver a superior administration service to their members. The group has established an industry-wide Member Survey and produced the GSAS (General Statement of Administration Standards). Twenty two third party administrators have signed up to it and MNPA was one of the first to do so.
Sue Applegarth was Vice-President of The Pensions Management Institute (PMI) from July 06-July08. She chaired the Education Committee, which is central to PMI's key objective of providing tuition and examination facilities for nationally recognised qualifications for all aspects of the law and practice relating to the management of pension schemes. Although Sue retired from the PMI Council in July 2008, MNPA remains proud to be a partner of the PMI sponsoring Scheme Management learning materials.
MNPA plays an active role influencing Government policy and strategy through membership of The Society of Pension Consultants, both as a member of Council and participation in the Administration Committee.
You will also see MNPA on public platforms such as The Pensions Show organised by Professional Pensions Magazine and conferences organised by PMI and NAPF.
