Pensions - Articles - John Dembitz becomes Non-Executive Director on NAPF Board

 The National Association of Pension Funds has appointed John Dembitz as Non-Executive Director to the NAPF Board at a meeting on Thursday 11 September 2014 in central London.

 Commenting on the appointment, John Dembitz said:

 “The NAPF works tirelessly to forge the way for better workplace pension provision for savers, and as the pensions landscape undergoes monumental change, the role of the NAPF is more important today than ever before.

 “I am delighted to be appointed as Non-Executive Directive on the NAPF Board and look forward to working with my colleagues on the Board to assist the NAPF in continuing to best serve members’ needs.”

 Ruston Smith, Chairman, NAPF, commented:

 “I’m delighted to welcome John Dembitz to the NAPF Board. John’s experience in business strategy and consultancy will further strengthen and professionalise the board in a dynamic and changing environment.

 “It is the expertise and dedication of members of the NAPF Board and the DB and DC Councils which enables the NAPF to successfully represent over 1,300 workplace pension schemes that provide pensions for over 17 million people.”

 The NAPF’s constitution enables it to appoint non-executive directors from outside the pensions industry to complement the technical skills and expertise of other board members who are elected to the Board from within the membership. This is the first time the NAPF has used this facility.
