Luncheon  Topic:  2010 Year-End “To-Do” List for Employee Benefit Plans
 
Speaker: Tom Kramer 
 
Please join Tom Kramer of Bullard Smith Jernstedt Wilson along with your PHRMA network as we make plans for the close of 2010.
 
Do you know what changes have occurred that will affect your Benefits Plans?
 
Tom will advise us of new developments, and help us identify top-priority items to address before year-end to avoid unexpected employee benefit plan liabilities. Tom’s sessions have been enjoyed locally by many as both educational, and yes, even funny…despite the topic!
 
Specific items may vary due to new developments, but may include the following:
 
  •  Pension and profit sharing plan amendments – what’s required and when
  •  Annual reporting requirements on Form 5500
  •  Reviewing vendor contracts – what to look for.

About the speaker: Tom Kramer, a shareholder in the firm, has represented employers who sponsor employee benefit plans, service providers who consult with such employers regarding their plans, and insurance and banking institutions that provide funding to employers with respect to their plans.

Tom's practice covers both tax-qualified and nonqualified retirement plans, including pension, profit sharing and other deferred compensation plans.
