Calling all moms and their favorite little trailblazers—it’s time to unplug, unwind, and camp out… without actually camping out. Welcome to Camp S’more Memories, a summer evening designed just for moms (or mother figures) and sons to bond, laugh, and soak up precious time together. We’re bringing the best un-plugged parts of camping—sticky s’mores fingers, grilled hotdogs, camp crafts, ax throwing, photos, and friendly competitions. We’ll do it all and without assembling a tent or a 6 am wake-up call! Because roughing it is optional…but making memories is mandatory.

Open enrollment is one of the most consequential moments in the employee experience, and one of the most complex for employers to navigate. Beyond the annual enrollment window, it's a strategic opportunity to educate your workforce, manage rising costs, strengthen compliance, and demonstrate that your organization is invested in the people who power it. As benefit regulations continue to evolve, new technologies reshape decision-making, and employees demand more transparency and choice, the employers who prepare early are the ones who get it right. Join us for this practical, 60-minute session where we cut through the complexity and give you the insights, tools, and best practices you need to walk into open enrollment season with clarity and confidence, whether you're fine-tuning an existing strategy or building one from the ground up. By the end of this session, you will be able to: 1. Identify key health, welfare, and retirement plan updates that impact open enrollment, employee communications, and organizational compliance. 2. Evaluate strategies to manage benefit costs without sacrificing the employee experience or retirement savings opportunities. 3. Apply best practices for communicating benefits, leveraging emerging tools and technology, and preparing for upcoming regulatory requirements. What We'll Cover: Using open enrollment as a strategic lever for cost management and employee engagement. Dependent eligibility audits and how to communicate them effectively Electronic delivery requirements and employee notification best practices Forms 1095 distribution updates and open enrollment communication strategies Helping employees make informed decisions through education and price comparison tools The growing role of AI in benefits decision-making, what's here, what's coming, and what to watch GLP-1 medications and what employers need to consider for their sponsored health plans Wellness initiatives, tobacco cessation programs, and other proven cost-containment strategies Communicating voluntary benefits effectively without creating unintended employer endorsement SECURE 2.0 updates, including Roth catch-up contribution requirements and year-end amendment deadlines RSVP: https://keap.page/qjj577/webinar-registration.html?inf_contact_key=514bc06c7a10685855567e87738d24a0680f8914173f9191b1c0223e68310bb1
