2023 Virtual Conference - Affiliate Benefit Program: Health Care Insurance for Small Business

Many chambers of commerce throughout the country offer health insurance options for small business members. This presentation will explore the possibilities for Utah area chambers to offer it as well. Join us in the discussion and see if this is an additional benefit you could provide to your members.

The Chamber-sponsored Insurance Program was created to solve issues that chambers and employers face. It was set up with the intent to help chambers keep and gain membership as you must be a current member in good standing with the chamber to participate in this benefit. Employers trying to retain and recruit talent need a benefit package that is not going to break the bank but offer a comprehensive plan to employees and new hires. Products for this package include medical, dental, vision, gap, and life insurance. Negotiations with the carriers have resulted in each chamber receiving a marketing supplement for their efforts in reaching out to membership and ongoing marketing efforts. Each chamber will have the option to offer this to membership and will be able to customize their brochure to meet their marketing needs. This program is not exclusive to one broker or brokerage firm allowing for agents to solicit this product under the guidelines of the individual chamber and carrier partners.
