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.
