LUBBOCK, Texas (NEWS RELEASE) — The following is a news release from the Lubbock Chamber of Commerce:

The Lubbock Chamber of Commerce [recently] announced 401(k) Association Retirement Plan options for small businesses, in partnership with Lincoln Financial Group and Peacefield Wealth Solutions.  

“Under the U.S. Department of Labor Association Retirement Plan rule, our new Lubbock Chamber 401(k) plan allows multiple small employers to pool their assets,” said Dave Marcinkowski, Lubbock Chamber Chair. “This new benefit program allows the Chamber to help members set up new or convert existing small business retirement plans.”  

Through the new 401(k) program, Chamber members will have access to group pricing and service efficiencies, less administrative work, and relief from fiduciary obligations while offering an effective and competitive 401(k) plan.
