MELBOURNE, FLA.— PLANSPONSOR, the nation’s leading retirement plan resource, recently recognized Florida Institute of Technology as a 2010 finalist in the annual Plan Sponsor of the Year awards. Florida Tech was honored in the non-profit/403(b) category.
On an annual basis, the editors of PLANSPONSOR magazine identify individuals or institutions/employers that demonstrate leadership in providing a more secure retirement for workers.
