Citing over 1,100 discrete individuals who have participated in their "Conversations on Financial Markets" conference calls since October 2008, the Pension Boards of the UCC will offer a new series of calls beginning later this month.

Following last year's failure of several financial institutions and the decline in global financial markets, the Pension Boards initiated this series of seven monthly conversations to address concerns of their members.

Capitalizing on the success of these past conversations, plan participants are invited to join Pension Boards President and CEO Mike Downs and other senior staff for their continuing series "Financial Markets: An Ongoing Discussion," scheduled for Tuesday, April 28 at noon Eastern.

A toll free number is available for U.S. participants at 866/233-3842. International callers should dial 1-651/291-3245. The conference access code is 968418. TTY callers are invited to dial 800/855-2881.

The Pension Boards will continue to offer opportunities for conversation and questions once a month. Recordings of past conference calls are available online. Please also check the web site <pbucc.org> for the schedule of upcoming calls.
