The objective of
the association is to further the interests of its members, which can
include active, deferred and retired members of IBM UK's pension
schemes. Within this objective the aims include:
- Playing the
fullest part possible in restoring the members’ trust and confidence in
the intentions of IBM UK and the Trust board.
- Providing members
with timely information on a broad range of topics relevant to their
pension prospects, such as activities by IBM, the Pensions Trust and
the Pensions Ombudsman, comparisons with other companies and trusts,
the regulations and proposed regulations in the UK and elsewhere, and
media articles.
- Providing members
with mechanisms, and information about procedures, so that they can
comment and become involved. Examples are message boards, what
MPs can do, the election of trustees, and how government agencies such
as the Ombudsman’s Office operate.
- Carrying the
views of involved members to wider forums. Examples are the
national associations formed for the benefit of consumers of
occupational pensions, government reviews, and the media.
