Security Committee Meeting

Human Resources Committee Meeting

Join the VSRA Human Resources Committee for a virtual meeting live via Zoom. 

Our presenters will be Tyler Miller and Michael Washington from USI Insurance Services, who will speak to us about “COVID’s Effect on Employee Benefit Plans.”   Now that we are finally working our way out of the worst of the COVID crisis and trying to get back to normal, there are some important (and in some ways, surprising) effects that the COVID experience has had on employee benefits going forward.  While that is true across the board, it is particularly so in the case of older workers such as the skilled tradesmen/women who work on the waterfront in our industry, and for the companies that employ them.  We hope you can join us for this very timely and valuable presentation that should be of genuine interest to every employer in our Association.
