NOTICE OF CANCELLATION

In light of the recent developments of the COVID-19 situation and its impact on business gatherings, CPBI Southern Alberta is forced to cancel the March 19th session “Retirement Plan Communication: A Case Study”.  

Please visit our website www.cpbi-icra.ca for the status of upcoming CPBI events in the Sourthern Alberta region.

  

Please join us for lunch on Thursday March 19, 2020 at the Fairmont Palliser Hotel, 133 – 9 Ave. SW Calgary.

Michel and Brenda will share the retirement plan communication strategies for two of their shared clients. One established a brand new plan for their employees and the other undertook a detailed marketing and carrier search. Using a case study approach they will share how the same communication materials and strategies were positioned with each client yet deployed differently. How did it turn out? Join us to hear of the successes, challenges and lessons learned from all perspectives – insurer, consultant, employer and employee.
