2017 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS INSTITUTE STEERING COMMITTEE

OUR HISTORY

In the fall of 1986, Michael J. Baker, then Assistant Dean at the University of Missouri – Kansas City School of Law with responsibility for continuing legal education, was eager to expand the law school’s CLE offerings and create an employee benefits symposium. Mike, along with John Utz, Tom Graves, Al Martin, Myron Sildon and their steering committee created the Employee Benefits Institute.

The first program was held on June 5, 1987, at the Hyatt Regency. Approximately 120 individuals attended. Now in its 31st year, The Employee Benefits Institute has grown into one of the most important conferences in the region and has expanded its presence to include targeted workshops throughout the year and additional networking opportunities.

2:15 PM BREAK SPONSORED BY MHM RETIREMENT PLAN SOLUTIONS

1:00 PM DESSERT BREAK SPONSORED BY: CIGNA

Multiple studies indicate health insurance in retirement is a major concern for many people. However, the number of employers offering Group Retiree Health plans has declined steadily over the last several years. Just what is the employer’s role with retiree health insurance and what are the options for individual retirees?

No individual, organization or industry is immune from cyber attacks. Organizations with access to highly sensitive information, like benefit plans, are a bigger target for attackers. The operation and administration of benefits plans requires collecting, processing and storing data assets among multiple parties. We need to understand the type of data, the data flow, control points and the responsibilities of each party involved to minimize risks. We will review the current and emerging threats, examine plan sponsor cybersecurity concerns, discuss service provider requirements and responsibilities and the role of auditors in the process.

Multiple studies indicate health insurance in retirement is a major concern for many people. However, the number of employers offering Group Retiree Health plans has declined steadily over the last several years. Just what is the employer’s role with retiree health insurance and what are the options for individual retirees?

No individual, organization or industry is immune from cyber attacks. Organizations with access to highly sensitive information, like benefit plans, are a bigger target for attackers. The operation and administration of benefits plans requires collecting, processing and storing data assets among multiple parties. We need to understand the type of data, the data flow, control points and the responsibilities of each party involved to minimize risks. We will review the current and emerging threats, examine plan sponsor cybersecurity concerns, discuss service provider requirements and responsibilities and the role of auditors in the process.
