1st National Employer Voluntary Benefits Association Has Been Created & Launched

West Palm Beach, FL, August 27, 2009 --(PR.com)-- The 1st Voluntary Benefits Association, also known as the Worksite Benefits Association has been created and launched. The Voluntary Benefits Association is the first national non-profit trade association focused on Voluntary Benefits for employer group and affinity groups. The Voluntary Benefits Association's goal is to promote the education, implementation and enrollment of Voluntary Benefits in the workplace. The VBA will have its first official meeting at the upcoming Voluntary Benefits and Limited Medical Conference, October 25th-26th, 2009 in Los Angeles.

Our Mission

To raise awareness of the important advantages of Voluntary Benefits for employees and plan members.
To provide a reliable source of information, statistics, and research data on Voluntary Benefits for employers, affinity groups, insurance companies, insurance agents and consultants.
To create a central point for communication and networking for employers, affinity groups, insurance companies, insurance agents and consultants.
To perform research and surveys in the area of Voluntary Benefits.
To bring the Voluntary Benefits industry together to find more efficient and effective ways to educate, implement and enroll Voluntary Benefits.
To reduce the costs for members of the association in enrolling or administering their Voluntary Benefit programs through group purchasing power.
To work to find new systems, technologies and methods that create more effective enrollment and stronger employee and plan member participation in Voluntary Benefits.
To identify new Voluntary Benefit insurance plans and products that the VBA's employer and affinity group members wish to be created and work with insurance companies to create these needed projects.

How is the Voluntary Benefits Association Different?

The VBA is the first and only non-profit association in the Voluntary Benefits and worksite insurance industry. Unlike other organizations, the Voluntary Benefits Association is a non-profit organization.

The Voluntary Benefits Association was created to promote and protect the interests of the multi-billion dollar, multi-million participant, industry. The Voluntary Benefits Association was also founded as an employer and affinity group coalition. Many employers and affinity groups do not know where to turn to find out what are the best Voluntary Benefits products to offer to employees, who the best Voluntary Benefits insurance companies are, or who are the best enrollment firms or technology firms. Many employers and affinity groups are looking for new innovative products and new ways to improve education, enrollment and participation in Voluntary Benefits. The Voluntary Benefits Association will work to accomplish these goals on behalf of our employer and affinity group members.

Voluntary Benefits Association Official Annual Conference

Voluntary Benefits Association will have one official annual conference each year.

The Voluntary Benefits Conference is the 1st conference dedicated solely to Voluntary Benefits and has a heavy focus on attracting attendees from mid size to large employers, associations and affinity groups, large consulting firms and health insurance agents, third party administrators and the leading corporate wellness companies. The VBA will hold its annual meeting at the Voluntary Benefits & Limited Medical Conference in Los Angeles on October 25th to October 26th, 2009.
