CGIB-30-Jun-2

Advisor Breakfast Club

The Advisor Breakfast Club is for Advisors, TPA’s, and Insurers to meet once a month and have open and transparent dialogue covering current and relevant employee benefit questions, experiences, issues, industry trends etc. Whether you are a seasoned vet, or a newbie to the industry this is worth two hours a month to better your knowledge. Together we can elevate each other, our profession and better support our clients. 

We meet the third Thursday of each month from 8am to 10am EST via Zoom. The Link is provided the day prior to the meeting. 

How it works: 

  • Register for the event. 
  • While registering you will be asked to provide a question
  • There are no dumb questions, it’s a safe place to learn. 
  • For TPA & Insurers, this is not a forum for you to sell your products or services. (Special events or in-person meetings will provide opportunity for sponsorship / guest speakers) 
  • Products and services can be discussed in general terms. Supporting advisors or providing insight are your key motives for participating. 
  • Have an open mind to new ideas, concepts, and perspectives.
