Formed in 2001, The Council of Employee Benefits Executives (CEBE) serves to advise The Council’s leadership on the opportunities and challenges faced by the membership’s employee benefits businesses. CEBE has three primary responsibilities:
- Informing and influencing The Council’s benefits policy agenda
- Providing perspective on employee benefits market trends and developments to support Council intel provided to the wider membership and industry stakeholders
- Steering the ever-evolving annual Employee Benefits Leadership Forum (EBLF)
The CEBE Advisory Committee consists of approximately 30 representatives from member firms who act as a trusted advisory network. The CEBE Chair reports directly to the Board of Directors at least twice a year, sharing market developments and serving as a formal channel of communication between the Board and Committee.
