By virtually any measure, fiscal year 2003-04 was a year of meaningful progress for our organization. It represented a year of solid execution and growth in our financial performance, more effective retirement and health benefits administration, and highly responsive customer service, for both members and employers. We worked hard during the year to achieve and deliver a significantly stronger financial performance, which resulted in a sound investment return of 16.6 percent. The ripple effect of our investment staff’s hard work will help stabilize employer rates. We also continued our national leadership role in advocating for corporate responsibility in our capital markets with a primary goal to make corporate boards accountable to shareowners. In addition, we pushed ahead to fight back against escalating health care costs by executing our health benefits cost and quality strategic plan, making significant strides in health care reform. We streamlined our customer service, improved our benefits administration, and provided strong, secure asset management. I am proud of the outstanding accomplishments presented in this report for fiscal year 2003-04.
