About the Cleveland Chapter of WEB

Overview

Programs presented by the Cleveland chapter of WEB feature an interactive panel of benefits professionals (from large and small employers, law firms, providers, and consulting firms), who each bring a different perspective on important, practical issues faced by today's benefits community. The Cleveland chapter is now the largest WEB chapter in the country. Opportunities for employee benefits professionals to exchange ideas and information through our educational programs and networking abound in the Cleveland chapter.

The Cleveland chapter of WEB generally meets on the third Thursday of the month from September through May. Occasionally, we meet on other days, though, so check the schedule.

Our morning programs begin with registration and continental breakfast and your first networking opportunity at 7:30 a.m. The presentation is from 8:00-9:00 a.m., with questions/answers from 9:00-9:15 a.m. Certain programs, including the Annual Legal and Regulatory Update, are scheduled for two hours, from 8:00-10:00 a.m., with questions/answers from 10:00-10:15 a.m.
