SUMMARY:Breaking the Renewal Cycle: A Deep Dive into the Member Advantage Benefits Cooperative (MABC) (Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT IS FREE FOR ALL EANE MEMBERS ONLY \nHealth insurance has become one of the most unpredictable and frustrating expenses for employers\, with annual renewal increases often ranging from 20–50%. Many organizations feel stuck in a cycle of reacting to renewals\, shifting costs\, adjusting plan designs\, and hoping for better outcomes the following year. \nThis session is designed to go beyond a high-level overview and provide employers with a deeper understanding of how the Member Advantage Benefits Cooperative (MABC) works\, who it is designed for\, and how organizations are using collaborative purchasing and alternative funding strategies to gain more control over healthcare costs. \nPowered by Alera Group in partnership with EANE\, the MABC was created specifically for organizations with 2–200 employees looking for more sustainable and strategic approaches to employee benefits. \nDuring this in-depth discussion\, we will explore: \n\nHow the MABC model works and how employers participate >> EANE MABC\nWhat makes collaborative purchasing strategies different from traditional small group renewals\nHow level-funded and alternative funding arrangements are changing the market for smaller employers\nThe role data\, underwriting\, and claims analysis play in long-term cost management\nStrategies for improving transparency\, controlling pharmacy spend\, and reducing long-term risk\nHow employers can expand employee benefit offerings while maintaining affordability\nWhat ancillary and voluntary benefits are available through the MABC platform\, including dental\, vision\, life\, disability\, legal\, critical illness\, pet insurance\, and more\nReal-world employer challenges\, common misconceptions\, and what organizations should evaluate before making changes to their benefits strategy\n\nThis will be a candid\, practical conversation focused on helping employers better understand the mechanics behind healthcare costs and the options available to move from reactive renewals to a more informed\, long-term strategy. \nWhether you are actively evaluating alternatives or simply trying to better understand the changing benefits landscape\, this session will provide valuable insight into what employers are doing right now to improve affordability\, flexibility\, and employee choice. \n  \nWho Should Attend? \nHR Professionals\, Finance Leaders\, Business Owners\, Executive Leadership\, Operations Leaders\, and anyone responsible for employee benefits strategy or healthcare cost management. \n  \nFacilitator \nJenny M. MacKay\, Partner & Senior Vice President\, Alera Group \nJenny specializes in helping employers uncover their desired outcomes and measure the return on the significant investments they make in employee benefit programs. Using a highly customized and consultative approach\, she partners with organizations on underwriting and analytics\, population health management\, HR technology\, pharmacy strategy\, compliance\, and long-term benefits planning. \nKnown for her candid style and executive-level clarity\, Jenny helps leadership teams transform benefits from a reactive renewal exercise into a strategic financial initiative. She is especially recognized for helping employers better understand pharmacy economics\, funding strategies\, and sustainable approaches to managing healthcare costs. \nCommunity involvement is also central to Jenny’s work.

SUMMARY:What Every Small Employer Needs to Know About Fleet Risk (Safety Roundtable)
DESCRIPTION:Join us June 19th to celebrate National Safety Month! \nThe discussion outlines why proactive fleet programs matter\, using real-world claims examples and the underwriting perspective insurers apply when evaluating risk. Attendees will gain practical insight into high-impact controls such as driver screening\, MVR monitoring\, and written safety policies that reduce both claim frequency and severity. \nThe value is clear and actionable. Stronger safety controls build carrier confidence\, support more favorable pricing\, and protect long-term insurability. This is a practical roadmap for employers looking to better protect their people\, assets\, and bottom line\, not theoretical compliance guidance. \nPresenter: Mat Geffin\, Alera Group \nMathew Geffin (“Mat”) is a partner with Alera Group out of the Northampton office\, formerly the Webber & Grinnell Insurance Agency. Mat has been in the industry since 2009 and as both a risk management broker and consultant\, he specializes in the needs of growing and complex organizations in managing their company’s risks. His approach is to look deep into the operational structure and management of an organization to understand where exposures are present and how best to manage those. His team then assists the client\, not only with structuring the right insurance program but also providing hands on services\, trainings and recommendations to improve the organizations operations. \nTHIS EVENT IS FREE FOR ALL EANE MEMBERS AND NON-MEMBERS.
