The summit which is mandated by the 1997 Savings Are Vital To Everyone’s Retirement (SAVER) Act, is co-hosted by Congressional leaders and Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao. The Summit’s goal is to increase public awareness of the importance of retirement planning and to identify ways to increase the amount of retirement savings by all Americans.
