Since the 1980s, our mission at the Florida West Coast Employee Benefits Council provides an educational and networking forum for employee benefits professionals in the Tampa Bay area. Through dinner meetings with scheduled speakers and annual educational workshops, we take in timely information on a variety of employee benefits matters and experience the evening together sharing thoughts, all the while in good company with our colleagues.
The Council is operated by its membership on a volunteer basis with all dues used to fund Dinner Meetings and educational programs. The Council exists as a non-profit open forum for the education of its members.1
