The Atlantic Region Group Benefit Virtual Breakfast meeting is for plan advisors, TPA’s, and insurers to meet once a month to have an open and transparent dialogue to discuss all relevant employee benefit matters. Whether you are a seasoned vet, or a newbie to the industry this is worth 2 hours a month to better your knowledge. Together we can elevate each other, our profession and better support our clients.

We meet the second Tuesday of each month at 8am via Zoom. Participation is capped at 25 so register early.

The rules are simple:

  • Register for the event
  • Email a question or topic of discussion in advance  (to help facilitate discussion)
  • For advisors, this forum is to share ideas, educate each other and discuss various points of view related to benefits, products, carriers etc. 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…

Virtual meetings through Zoom will be utilized until the COVID19 Crisis passes.
