IBC Leaders


"The Model Plan offers teachers throughout the state of Florida, whether they're in large districts, medium or small, the opportunity to participate in what is characterized as best in class investment programs and services." - Bill Montford, CEO of the Florida Association of District School Superintendents (FADSS)



"Educators, and the school districts themselves, are oftentimes overwhelmed by the number of investment plans they have available to them and may not necessarily have the time or resources to discern which offer the best value. The Model Plan presents a golden opportunity for school districts to simplify choices for educators and offer only the highest quality investment plans." - IBC Chair Wayne Blanton, executive director of the Florida School Boards Association (FSBA)





"The Model Plan not only levels the playing field for all teachers and education professional staff, but promises them value and security. The smaller school districts stand to benefit the most from this new approach, but, truly, everyone benefits." – John Mixon, executive director, Florida Association of School Administrators (FASA)





"The Model Plan is the Gold Standard by which all 403b plans should be judged. It just goes to show that management and labor can sit at the same table and work together to make a huge difference in the lives of our unsung heroes, teachers and school support professionals." - Clara Cook, secretary & treasurer, Florida Education Association (FEA)
