Nicolas Lance Appointed to Retirement Income Industry Association Board

Nicolas E. Lance, vice president of Retirement Income Strategies at the companies of OneAmerica, has been appointed to the Retirement Income Industry Association (RIIA) board of directors.

“Creating a retirement strategy that produces a consistent stream of income for today’s pre-retirees and retirees takes careful planning and innovative thinking,” said Lance. “I am pleased to join the RIIA board and support the effort to tackle retirement income planning from a holistic perspective.”

The shift from defined benefit to defined contribution plans, longer life spans, unpredictable economic conditions and the rising cost of health care are some of the challenges that face future and current retirees.

Recognizing the changing trends in the retirement landscape, Lance joined the companies of OneAmerica last fall to develop and lead the Retirement in Motion^SM initiative to better prepare the growing number of individuals in or near retirement.

“The RIIA organization welcomes Nicolas and OneAmerica,” said Francois Gadenne, Founding Chairman, RIIA. “We believe OneAmerica’s commitment to retirement income planning is well aligned with RIIA’s strategic vision.”
