What her peers say:

From early Society leadership, tireless promotion of CEBS and continued dedication to the education of CEBS graduates, nobody matches Katherine’s contribution. Not only has she attended every Symposium since its beginning, but she presents the annual U.S. Legal Update and followup workshop. Following each session, she is engulfed with questions, and she takes time to courteously answer each one.

Most incredibly, given her extensive workload, she has always made time for her friends and associates.

What her peers say:

Mary has been so engaged in the CEBS program since its early days. She has been a great teacher to many of us in the chapter and to even more around the country as an online instructor. She holds herself and all of us to very high standards of excellence and integrity and makes us all better professionals and people as a result of her passion and commitment to the industry.

Mary is a well-known benefits expert and resource for her clients and the rest of us in the benefits community. She is often my first call for help if I have a question or want to bounce an idea off someone. I often see people come up to her locally and at the Symposium to say ‘You were my instructor’ and tell her how much they appreciated her teaching and the impact on their careers. She helps make complex benefits ideas more manageable and enjoys sharing her enthusiasm.

What her peers say:

She is a true champion of the CEBS program and promotes the Twin Cities educational luncheons to at least 100 clients every month. Deb has been a terrific resource and help to me (and others) always responsive and eager to assist.

Deb has been involved with the Twin Cities Chapter since its inception. And by "involved" I mean in every sense of the word. She did not reduce her involvement after her formal time on the Board, which unfortunately is often the case. Instead she has chaired the Board's Education Committee, whose responsibility it is to coordinate monthly educational luncheons, for many years. She routinely volunteers to take on additional tasks and projects, and always provides thoughtful guidance to board members. The most important thing to know about Deb is that she doesn't do these things because her employer asked her to, because she thinks it will look good on her resume, or because it's another bucket list item to be checked. She does it because she truly cares.
