New NYLHCA Executive Director Update - Feb 2021

Monthly NYLHCA Vendor Webcasts:

Please do keep an eye out for our NYLHCA Vendor webcasts each month that highlight offerings and updates to our Endorsed and Recommended vendors we support. We send out email notices and ZOOM links in advance, but always feel free to call or email me with any questions. Let’s support our Vendors.

Upcoming Meetings:
On February 25th at 9:30am, Chairperson of our Product Development Committee, Steve O’Sick, hosts our first PDC Committee Meeting of 2021- and we ask all Administrators to participate to hear updates on products, new benefit ideas- and to offer your own suggestions so we can focus on what your Fund needs.
On May 13th at 9:30am, our 2nd Quarterly Meeting will be via ZOOM and materials, agenda, and information will be made available before that date. Please do put it on your calendar!

Our Annual and Quarterly Meetings will be held at the Turning Stone Resort (unless COVID issues interfere) on September 14th - and our Annual Seminar and Golf Event will be on the 15th.

President O’Sick has asked for your suggestions on pertinent topics and speakers for the Seminar - so please forward those to him early in the year.

YOU know some non-member Locals!

We are always trying to grow our Alliance- so please send me a couple of Locals in your region you think may be interested so I can follow up with them on membership value. Our negotiations only get better with bigger member counts!

Monthly Health Focus:
As we continue to manage our way through the COVID pandemic, I thought Funds may want to promote some health-related themes and resources within their Locals. Below are a few I thought maybe helpful:
