Open Enrollment for NASMM Health — Free Webinar Scheduled for Tuesday, October 29!
Our team has been working on providing our members with an affordable healthcare solution and are proud to have recently launched the NASMM Health!

On Tuesday, October 29 at 1PM ET NASMM will host a live webinar to go over all the details of this exciting program. The program offers multiple components that offer preventative care coverage, prescription drug coverage, telemedicine and cost sharing for larger, unforeseen medical expenses. The program is flexible and allows members the ability to customize their healthcare, while providing a comprehensive solution. And the best part, the program is saving members an average of 60% and report a 91% satisfaction rate!

As we near Open Enrollment we hope you will join us for this webinar. Our partners in the program, The Small Association Leadership Alliance (SALA), will be presenting the program components and answering all your questions. Many of your fellow members have already signed up, come find out why.

NASMM Now Accepting Proposals for IGNITE 2020!
Consider being part of an innovative and exciting learning format — NASMM 2020 Ignite — a showcase of five-minute talks that might be bold, possibly brash, maybe even brilliant — but never boring! It's the learning format that's fast, fun, and focused where each speaker gets 20 slides, auto-advancing every 15 seconds, for 5 minutes total. The international Ignite motto is "enlighten us, but make it quick!"

Thus, Ignite is storytelling more than presenting. Given five minutes to speak with brief visual aides, what would you share with other SMMs? What would you most like to learn from your colleagues? Would you tell a humorous story? Teach a hack? Explain your passion for an unusual hobby? NASMM 2020 Ignite is taking place during NASMM 2020 on Sunday, March 8. Are you up for the challenge? Submissions are due by January 10, 2020. Questions? Contact Mary Kay at marykay@nasmm.org.
