“His seamless transition to chief executive officer has been made possible due to his extensive national management experience in the non-profit and private sectors over the last 25 years. In conjunction with the board of directors, Ric will be providing leadership as ACPM develops a strategic foundation for future growth.”

With Marrero’s appointment, the association intends to expand its scope to include retirement savings options other than pensions plans as it continues its work to improve retirement scenarios for Canadians, noted Jalbert.
