Unfortunately, many employers have found that benefits consultants not certified by the Validation Institute are more likely to create risks than manage them.

That being said, I am excited to be representing the Validation Institute at the Benefits Pro Conference next week in Denver, Colorado.

For those of you who may not be aware, the Validation Institute elevates the professional standards of the employee benefits consulting industry by educating them on health plan innovation and issuing those who complete the coursework the Certified Health Value Professional designation.

It's the highest certification in the employee benefits industry regarding health plan innovation.

So, if you are a fee-based employee benefits consultant in Denver and you're interested in increasing your knowledge of health plan innovation and distinguishing yourself in the marketplace by earning the Certified Health Value Professional designation, say hello, and I'll be happy to tell you all about it.

If you can't make it to Denver, Colorado, no worries—you can visit the Validation Institute's website to learn more.

That's it for me — see you in Denver!”
