SALGBA is excited to offer another outstanding educational and networking opportunity to SALGBA members, public sector benefits professionals and industry associates. The SALGBA 30th Annual Conference in San Francisco will offer 32 educational sessions which can qualify for up to 22 CGBA educational credits. In addition to the timely education, attendees will also have opportunities to network with peers at various functions. From the Sunday Golf Tournament or Sunday Tour to The premier organization for public sector benefits professionals... the Tuesday Night visit to the Aquarium there are plenty of opportunities to network and talk shop with your peers and colleagues. The advantages of attending are immense and for the small monetary investment there is not a better bang for your buck than SALGBA! This is the perfect opportunity to get up to date information on Federal Health Care Reform and how to best prepare for the many changes. We are also pleased to have keynote presentations by Dr. Rob Epstein with Medco and Mark Funkhouser with UnitedHealth Group along with many state and local administrator presentations. So “hop on board” with SALGBA! Who Should Attend? The State & Local Government Benefits Association was started in 1982 by a group of state and local benefits administrators who realized the specialized need they had in obtaining education and information about the benefits industry as it related to the public sector. SALGBA conferences have seen a rapid growth since 2005 as issues with public sector healthcare have grown more prominent. SALGBA conferences have grown from 225 attendees to about 450 attendees over the past 4 years and with healthcare reform upon us we expect that number to continue to grow. So if you are a benefits administrator, executive director, benefits manager or human resource professional of a public sector entity with benefits as a part of your job duties you should definitely attend. If you are an industry associate who offers a service to the benefits industry and would like to be in front of the government sector decision makers then you should also attend and consider exhibiting as a way to network with attendees. PAGE Golf Tournament 3 SALGBA 2012Golf Tournament proudly sponsored by Medco This year’s golf tournament is being held at TPC Harding Park which is one best golf courses in the area. TPC Harding Park was renovated in 2004 and its restoration has been a continuing focus of golf industry attention, making Harding one of the great public golf experiences in the US. The improvements were completed on the basis of returning PGA Tour events to its storied grounds. As a result, Harding has played host to the 2005 World Golf Championship, the Presidents Cup 2009, and most recently Charles Schwab Cup Championship in November of 2010 and the Charles Schwab Cup Championship in November 2011. Clubs can be rented by contacting the course directly.
