OneDigital Customer Recognized With Plan Sponsor of the Year Award

Members 1st Federal Credit Union Recognized for Outstanding Commitment to Valued Associates

ATLANTA, GA – July 15, 2021 – OneDigital Investment Advisors “OneDigital,” a registered investment advisor focused on corporate retirement plans with over $70 billion in assets under advisement, today announced that its customer, Members 1st Federal Credit Union, has been named the winner of the 2021 PLANSPONSOR Plan Sponsor of the Year in the Corporate 401(k) >$50MM-$150MM category.

PLANSPONSOR’s annual Plan Sponsor of the Year award program recognizes retirement plan sponsors that show a commitment to their participants’ financial health and retirement success. The 2021 awards had nine categories to allow for the most accurate comparisons across plan types and sizes. Members 1st was profiled for its 86.6 percent participation rate among all employees and 200 percent of up to 5 percent employer contribution rate.

I cannot think of a more well-deserved recipient for this award than Members 1st Federal Credit Union. With a client base of over 25+ credit union customers across the nation, it's an honor to work so closely with a credit union whose leadership is as dedicated to the continued wellbeing of their associates as the Members 1st."
 
— David Hinderstein, Senior Vice President OneDigital's Retirement + Wealth

After a series of cultural and rebranding efforts at the organization, Members 1st was inspired to rethink its retirement plan. This included the termination of its long-standing defined benefit (DB) plan and moving to a defined contribution (DC) plan. The change enabled them to deliver more than just a retirement savings plan but a financial wellness platform that provides participants the opportunity for true financial health.

“As a credit union, we’re really focused on our three-legged stool, and that’s composed of our associates, our community and our members,” says Sara Kennedy, Senior Vice President of Associate Experience at Members 1st. “Our partnership with OneDigital was instrumental in developing solutions to increase engagement and enrollment in the plan further. We are looking forward to continuing our efforts with the development of programs that emphasize mental health and its relationship to financial health.”

Daniel Casella, a senior retirement plan consultant for OneDigital, commented, “Winning a Plan Sponsor award against such substantial competition is the result of hard work by many to increase the Credit Union’s employee’s financial wellbeing.”

In addition to this accolade, seven OneDigital Retirement + Wealth customers have received Plan Sponsor of the Year awards from 2012-2021, with an additional four customers receiving finalist designations. Recent Plan Sponsor of the Year award recipients include Dealertrack (2016), Searles Valley Minerals (2017), Nu Skin Enterprises (2018), and Centre Lane Partners (2019).
