Pension Benefit Plans.
The advisory council is a bipartisan group of 15 members

Security Act (ERISA) and advises the secretary on implementation of those
recommendations.

general partner at Goldman, Sachs and Company and head of the company's pension
services group. He brings to the council more than 20 years of private- and
public-sector experience in investment and financial matters.
Joyce A. Mader will represent employee organizations and
multiemployer plans. She is a partner at the Washington, D.C.-based law firm of
O'Donoghue & O'Donoghue and heads its employee benefits practice.
Victoria Quesada, a founding partner of a firm
specializing in employee benefit disputes, will represent the general public
(pensioners). Her previous experience includes working as a staff attorney at
the Department of Labor's Plan Benefits Security Division.
Representing actuarial counseling is Zenaida M. Samaniego.
