National Coordinating Committee for Multiemployer Plans

What National Coordinating Committee for Multiemployer Plans does

The National Coordinating Committee for Multiemployer Plans (NCCMP) is a Washington, DC-based non-profit advocacy organization founded in 1974 that represents the interests of the U.S. multiemployer benefits system. It serves a defined stakeholder base of multiemployer pension plans, multiemployer health and welfare plans, sponsoring employers and unions, plan participants and beneficiaries, and plan professionals (attorneys, actuaries, consultants). Its core mission is to strengthen and preserve the multiemployer benefits system through coordinated engagement with Congress and federal agencies including PBGC, the Department of Labor, the Treasury Department, and the IRS.

NCCMP's deliverable surface is policy and convening rather than technology. Outputs include Multi-Elert newsletters, amicus briefs, regulatory comment letters, Congressional testimony, and an annual awards program (the George Meany Award, established in 2019). It operates a portfolio of recurring events — the Annual Conference in Hollywood, Florida; the Lawyers and Administrators Meeting at the National Press Club in Washington, DC; the World Pension Alliance/Transatlantic Conference; and a quarterly member webinar series. The organization is a founding member of the World Pension Alliance and served as Chair of that body for 2022-2023, giving it an international profile alongside its domestic advocacy work.

The business model is membership-based and subscription-like: members pay dues to access advocacy services, educational programming, networking events, and policy resources. Revenue is supplemented through a multi-tier corporate sponsorship stack at the Annual Conference (BlackRock as Diamond Sponsor, Segal as Platinum Sponsor, Ullico as Title Sponsor) and additional event sponsorships from firms like GCM Grosvenor, Horizon Actuarial, Berwyn Group, and Loomis Sayles. Operations are run by a small staff of 1-10 employees out of a single headquarters at 815 16th St NW, Washington, DC, under Executive Director Michael D. Scott and a Board chaired by Sean McGarvey, President of North America's Building Trades Unions.

Direct peers

• Pension Rights Center: Pension Rights Center is a consumer-focused advocacy organization working to protect and expand pension rights through policy advocacy and education. Comparable to NCCMP in operating model (advocacy + education on pension policy) but represents individual participants rather than multiemployer plan sponsors.
• American Benefits Council: The American Benefits Council advocates on employee benefits policy before Congress and federal agencies on behalf of major employers. Like NCCMP, it is a DC-based, membership-funded advocacy body running member events and producing comment letters — overlapping in audience for plan sponsors and benefits policy professionals.
• ERISA Industry Committee (ERIC): ERIC is a Washington, DC-based advocacy association representing large employers on employee benefits policy, including pension and health issues before Congress and federal agencies. Comparable to NCCMP in operating model (DC-based advocacy, congressional testimony, regulatory comments) but focused on the single-employer/plan sponsor side rather than multiemployer.
• Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI): EBRI is a non-profit research institute producing data and analysis on employee benefits, including retirement and health benefits. Comparable to NCCMP's research and education function, with overlapping audiences among plan sponsors, policymakers, and benefits professionals.
• International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans (IFEBP): IFEBP is the largest US-based education and membership organization serving the multiemployer/employee benefits community, including plans, trustees, and administrators. It directly competes with NCCMP for multiemployer plan members, conference attendance, and educational programming for plan professionals.
• National Institute on Retirement Security (NIRS): NIRS is a non-profit research and education institute focused on retirement security policy. It parallels NCCMP's research/education function (e.g., Mariah Becker's Director of Research & Education role) and produces policy-relevant research used by pension stakeholders and policymakers.
• World Pension Alliance (WPA): The World Pension Alliance is an international coalition of pension advocacy associations, of which NCCMP is a founding member and past Chair. WPA operates the same advocacy + conference model at the global level and co-hosts events with NCCMP, making it both a peer and a partner.

Others

• National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association (NARFE): NARFE is a membership-based advocacy association advocating on federal employee benefits, including pensions and health benefits. Operates the same DC-based advocacy + membership model as NCCMP but serves federal employee plans rather than multiemployer plans.
• AFL-CIO: The AFL-CIO is the largest US labor federation and a key constituency member of NCCMP, with affiliated union members sitting on NCCMP's board and at its conferences. Not a peer in services, but a primary upstream stakeholder whose policy priorities directly drive NCCMP's advocacy agenda.
• PBGC (Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation): PBGC is the federal agency that insures multiemployer and single-employer defined benefit pensions, and a primary regulator that NCCMP engages with via comment letters and testimony. Not a peer in the commercial sense, but a counterparty whose policy decisions materially shape NCCMP's value to members.
