MEMBERSHIP

The Orange County Chapter of the Western Pension & Benefits Council promotes an exchange of information and ideas among employee benefits professionals. Our members include ERISA attorneys, CPAs, third party administrators, investment industry benefits specialists, financial advisors, actuaries, benefits consultants and plan sponsors' in-house benefits professionals.

Through the monthly breakfast forum presentations and periodic technical lunch forums, the Orange County Chapter provides a forum for dialogue between its members. These meetings encourage full audience participation and exchange of practical solutions to technical issues. Benefits professionals lead the meetings, with an emphasis on topics reflecting current benefit trends and regulatory guidance.

Our chapter usually meets on the third Thursday of the month. All Breakfast Forums will be held at Andrei's Restaurant, 2607 Main St., Irvine (at the 405 Freeway, Jamboree exit). These meetings open with registration, breakfast and networking beginning at 7:30 a.m. and our program typically runs from 8:00 to 9:45 a.m. We occasionally plan longer meetings to accommodate presentations that are more in depth. We will point out when a meeting is planned to end at a later time.

Technical Lunch Forums open at 10:30 a.m. for check-in and the program runs from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Technical Lunch Forums and our Seminars are presented in different locations throughout the year, so watch the details for each individual event.
