      <title>The Future of Nonprofit Benefits: Cost Control Meets Employee Value (24 Sep 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Calibri, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font face="Calibri, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Calibri, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Join your nonprofit colleagues for this interactive discussion, facilitated as a peer-to-peer sharing opportunity.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This discussion will explore practical strategies for navigating today’s complex benefits landscape. Topics will include evaluating plan design options (e.g., high-deductible health plans vs. richer PPO offerings), leveraging alternative funding arrangements, and maximizing the impact of benefits through employee education and engagement.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Paul Phelan of Gallagher will be available for questions that arise in the discussion and can provide an overview of the current market.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
