We are pleased to announce that Marcia Wagner, the firm’s founder and Managing Director, has accepted an appointment to the Board of Directors of the American Benefits Council. Marcia is proud to be a part of The American Benefits Council’s mission to positively impact the employee benefits industry, and is honored to have been chosen to serve on its Board of Directors.

The American Benefits Council is a Washington D.C.-based employee benefits public policy organization that advocates on behalf of employers that are dedicated to the achievement of industry-leading benefits programs designed to protect and encourage the health and financial well-being of their employees, retirees and families. The Council works closely with Congress, the White House and executive-branch agencies, as well as with the courts, to champion legislation, regulation and legal rulings favorable to its members’ needs, and to defend the employer-sponsored benefits system against proposals that would add burdens, liabilities and costs.

The Council also engages in the international arena on behalf of multinational companies with respect to public policy initiatives and information-sharing of best practices, as well as to provide advocacy and benefits strategy and compliance assistance through its network of global partner organizations.

The Council is committed to both broad-based policy advocacy and customized assistance to member companies. It serves as a technical resource on benefits issues for lawmakers, the media and other industry trade associations. The Council frequently forges alliances with other public policy organizations to develop and communicate collective business community positions on benefits proposals.
