RECORDED WEBINAR: 
Negotiating Good Service Agreements
with John Walch

Please join us for a timely webinar – Negotiating Good Service Agreements - hosted by the Western Pension & Benefits Council Governing Board. This webinar will provide one CE Unit for ASPPA and NIPA members, ERPAs, JBEA, CPAs in CA and ORE and MCLE in CA.


The seminar will address why plan sponsors, plan administrators and service providers all should have a good service agreement in place, and the terms that every service agreement should include.  A good service agreement will offer protection to all parties to the agreement and fulfill ERISA obligations of any fiduciary parties.  We will cover the terms that an agreement should include, how to address risks, and what the courts have said about agreements.

The target audience is anyone providing services to an employee benefit plan, plan fiduciaries and plan sponsors.

Cost: $50 for members, $65 for non-members. For those who cannot attend the live webinar broadcast, a recording of the webinar will be available within one week of the live webinar date. To register to receive a link to the webinar recording, just go through the regular registration process and a link will be sent to you via e-mail as soon as it is available. Please follow the link below to register using a credit or debit card. For group registration, please contact Kristen Sanchez directly at office@westernpension.org.
This webinar is brought to you by Pinnacle Plan Design, LLC.
