The Louisville Employee Benefits Council (LEBC) is a unique professional organization comprised of members from many disciplines of the employee benefits community. Currently our Membership consists of plan sponsors, legal members (attorney and paralegal), consultants, insurance agents, trust employees investment advisors, plan administrators, accountants, actuaries, and life members. The LEBC was established in 1959 to provide a forum for the exchange of information and ideas among employee benefit professionals. Additionally, the LEBC provides an excellent networking opportunity before and after each of our meetings. The tremendous support of the membership as well as the time and talent devoted by our Program and Executive Committees enable the LEBC to secure both locally and nationally renowned speakers for our monthly meetings. These speakers typically provide an opportunity to receive continuing education credits. Meeting topics routinely include: Economic updates, Legislative updates, Litigation topics, Ethics, Information Security, Fiduciary Responsibility, Health Care Benefit News and Innovations, Wellness Initiatives, 401(k) Benefit Issues, Pension Benefit Issues, Executive Benefit Issues, Mergers and Acquisitions, DOL / IRS News. If you are visiting our site, we would like to welcome you to join our organization. To be considered for an LEBC Membership, prospective members should be professionals working substantially (at least 30 percent of the time) in the field of employee benefits. An application for membership is available on the website (See “New Members”). The Council’s long-term success is attributed to the continual commitment of the members. The Executive Committee welcomes and encourages your comments and participation. Our hope is that you will attend as many events as possible and become actively involved in the Louisville Employee Benefits Council.
