About Franklin Ford Daniel

Franklin Daniel, a Human Resources Professional at Middlebury College, enjoys the administration of the College's retirement plans and other benefits. He is a member of WorldatWork Society of Certified Professionals where he earned the Certified Benefits Professional designation, trained to comply with U.S. legal and regulatory requirements and integrate benefits programs with business strategy and design. Prior to joining Middlebury College, Franklin started his career with the Service Employees International Union holding various roles where his professional training started in the field of employee benefits. Before his human resources career, Franklin spent his days in the soccer field as a professional soccer player with the NJ Nationals and Club Atlético Banfield (Argentina). He also spent a year working as a barista in a seedy Parisian cafe in Greenwich Village, which he still considers his most challenging job to date.

TIAA 2018 Fee Disclosure Email(s)

For Faculty, For Staff, Human Resources, Midd Points

TIAA is scheduled to deliver important information about your retirement plan(s) via email and we are writing to remind you that the message may be diverted to your Clutter box. As you may already know, with Clutter, the email server keeps track of the email you read and the ones you don’t. Once you turn it on,  as new email comes in, it takes messages you’re most likely to ignore and puts them into the “Clutter” folder. In order to efficiently provide employees with accurate and up-to-date information and to remain compliant with our annual participant fee disclosure responsibilities regulated by the Department of Labor, we ask that you follow the following steps:

  1. You can turn Clutter off (or)
  2. You can “train” clutter that TIAA emails are not clutter.

To “train” your Clutter, look in the Clutter folder and drag the TIAA email from your Clutter folder to your Inbox. Moving an email in or out of the Clutter folder from any of your devices is enough to give the signal to the Clutter system that an item from TIAA is or isn’t Clutter.
