Program Notes:

Political changes resulting from November’s elections will continue to have a major effect on health, welfare and retirement plans. The impact of these changes will affect public policy, business decisions made by plan sponsors and the individuals who participate in these programs in both the short and long term. Plan Sponsors need to understand the immediate impact of the current political climate and also need to project the long-term impacts on their various benefit plans.

Please join us on February 7 for a discussion about how the legislative landscape may impact on your employer sponsored plans. Julie Burbank from Trucker Huss will focus on health and welfare issues, including a discussion of health care reform. Bob Holcomb from JP Morgan will discuss retirement plans and the current policy climate.

This is an important program for all benefits professionals. Health Care Reform is real, it is going to occur and you need to prepare for this specific event. How are the ongoing political decisions on issues such as the debt ceiling limit and possible spending cuts going to impact your retirement plan benefits? Retirement Reform is going to occur, and our speakers will share what they see as potential changes for these programs and their thoughts for how you can position your employer sponsored plans. These topics and more will be discussed during our sessions.

We look forward to seeing you on February 7th for this important program.
