SUMMARY:Consolidated Appropriations Act: Transparency\, Employer Reporting\, and Plan Governance

SUMMARY:Compliance Survival: Staying Ahead of ACA\, ERISA\, and State Regulations

This session is designed to help employers understand what should still be on their radar and what issues deserve immediate attention before open enrollment season ramps up. \nSpeaker: John Gardiner and the Bodman Law team
