Letter From the President

Dear Council Member:

The Louisville Employee Benefits Council is a unique organization comprised of a variety of benefits professionals. The Council was formed in 1959 and its purpose is to provide a forum for the exchange of information and ideas among employee benefit professionals. One privilege of membership in the LEBC is access to the Membership Directory. Please note that our by-laws provide that the Directory "shall not be disclosed to persons or entities that are not members of the Council and shall not be used for solicitation of business." Second, our tax exempt status prohibits lobbying.

The tremendous support of the membership as well as the time and talent devoted by our Program and Executive Committees enable the Council to secure both local and nationally renowned speakers for our monthly meetings. Over the past year our organization has shifted to a new format to allow members more networking time and to provide more opportunities for continuing education credits.

The Executive Committee welcomes your comments and suggestions. As the 2008 President, I urge you to attend as many events as possible and become actively involved in your Louisville Employee Benefits Council.

Very truly yours,

Jeff Hamilton
President
