  • Meet Rufus Gifford
    MEET RUFUS GIFFORD RUFUSGIFFORD.COM Rufus Gifford is a candidate for Congress in Massachusetts’ third congressional district. He’s running a campaign focused on restoring trust in politics and getting government working again to improve constituents’ everyday lives. From 2013 to 2017, Rufus served as the U.S. Ambassador to Denmark, the culmination of ten years working as a senior aide to President Barack Obama. As Ambassador, he advanced several U.S. foreign policy priorities, such as addressing the effects of climate change, building international coalitions, promoting U.S. businesses, and investing in clean energy. Rufus also helped modernize the transatlantic relationship through people-to-people diplomacy, youth engagement, and a never-before-seen public diplomacy strategy, which included the award- winning documentary series “I Am the Ambassador.” Previously, Rufus was on the senior leadership team of President Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign. He was also a senior staff member of the Democratic National Committee, where he was part of the effort to pass key Obama agenda items such as the Affordable Care Act. Before that, he was an advisor on Obama’s historic 2008 campaign, where he worked to involve all walks of life in the political process. Rufus started in Democratic politics as a volunteer and then a staff member on John Kerry’s 2004 presidential campaign. He subsequently started his own consulting business, advocating for progressive causes and advising Democratic officials across the country. He began his career as a producer in the entertainment industry. Rufus had no plans to run for office himself, but when Donald Trump was elected president in November 2016, he decided he needed to more forcefully stand up for all he believed in and all he had dedicated his career to: quality and affordable health care, the environment, equality for LGBT and all Americans, government accountability, and basic human decency.

    Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston Pension Plan July 1, 2010 Actuarial Valuation Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston Pension Plan Introduction This report was prepared in order to document the actuarial valuation results as of July 1, 2010 for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston Pension Plan. The results of the actuarial valuation have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted actuarial principles. The contents of the report are based on specific actuarial assumptions and methods, as selected by the Trustees of the plan. Any changes in these factors will impact the results documented in this report. In our opinion, unless disclosed otherwise, the assumptions detailed in this report represent the best estimate of anticipated experience under the plan based on the related experience of the plan and the reasonable expectations of the plan. Future actuarial measurements may differ significantly from the current measurements presented in this report due to such factors as the following: 1. Plan experience differing from that anticipated by the economic and demographic assumptions, 2. Changes in economic or demographic assumptions, 3. Increases or decreases expected as part of the natural operation of the methodology used for these measurements (such as the end of an amortization period or additional cost or contribution requirements based on the plan's funded status), and 4. Changes in plan provisions or applicable law. Due to the limited scope of our assignment, we did not perform an analysis of the potential range of such future measurements. Participant data and asset information was provided by the Archdiocese of Boston. We have reviewed the data for reasonableness and will rely on the data as provided.
