The committee holds informational seminars that cover such topics as integrated systems, the consolidation of systems after a corporate merger and specialized vs. general packages. A PEBA software fair is also under consideration. Board member Barbara Smith-Cogshall will chair this committee. The newsletter provides topical articles about PEBA activities and offers a forum for information exchange between members. This committee is responsible for identifying topics of interest to members, selecting a group of 8-10 topics and developing workshops to be offered on a regular cycle.
Registration is limited to encourage an interactive experience.
Meetings will be held about four times a year in Center City. The member relations committee welcomes help from PEBA members who are able to make a few member calls each month, even if you aren't able to commit to attending meetings and serving on the general committee. If you are interested in helping with calls, contact Joy Wilson, Membership Coordinator at the PEBA office 215 735-9435, who coordinates this activity. We will be scheduling one or two dates each fall for PEBA members to serve as interviewers for high school students participating in the Philadelphia High School Academies' mock interview program. We are also developing a curriculum which will be piloted next fall for team visits to high school classes to teach an orientation to benefits class.
