“We chose Milliman because of their proven expertise and flexibility in handling many of the administrative responsibilities for our plans,” said Tom Kyle, Cascade’s chair of the board. “Their commitment to keeping participant interests front and center, including a strict non-solicitation policy, was a key factor in our decision.”

Established in the early 1970s, the Cascade Pension Trust oversees two distinct retirement plans: the Cascade pension plan and the Cascade 401(k) plan. These plans serve members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local Unions 280 (Salem, OR), 659 (Medford, OR), and 932 (Coos Bay, OR). Together, these unions represent members who provide essential electrical services across western and central Oregon.

“From our initial conversations with the Cascade Pension Trust team, it was clear they were committed to finding the right partner for their participants,” said Tom Carrabine, principal at Milliman. “We appreciate their collaboration and trust in Milliman, and we look forward to supporting a smooth transition for their members.”
