COME JOIN US!
This has been a very challenging year for all of us and we hope that you, your family, and friends are doing well. We missed being with everyone last year at our annual conference. Our annual conference this year will be held from September 10 - 11, 2021 at Beaver Run Resort. We are mindful of the continuing need for safety, but also feel that restrictions about large group gatherings will be relaxed. Stay posted in case that changes.
Breckenridge is a beautiful environment to be during the Fall. Typically the aspens are changing and the hills are covered in bright colors of yellow and orange. We will hold our annual golf tournament under the mountains. Once again, the tournament with be held at Breckenridge Golf Course. It is a challenging course and everyone should have a relaxing day in the sun and fresh mountain air.
Registration opens in the main lobby at 3:00 pm. Then we will gather for the President's Reception from 5:00 - 7:00 pm. Dinner on Friday is on your own, and we recommend reservations either on property or in Frisco or Dillon. Please consult local listings for restaurants.
Our keynote speaker this year will be Mike Schallapi. Mike's life changed in an awful moment when his childhood friend accidentally shot him at the age of 14. So he understands about change. Now he speaks to people worldwide, leaving people inspired and blessed for the life we have.
This year will be slightly different. We will hold a Vendor Appreciation Luncheon in lieu of a trade show. Vendors in good standing may purchase a sponsorship which includes a round meal table for ten as well as a side table for display. Will have space for food vendors, as we know you are very popular with our members!
Dinner and entertainment will be held on Saturday night. We are still planning this event, as 6 foot spacing restrictions are still in place in Summit County. If things change, we will have more flexibility. So stay tuned for updates. At the moment we will likely have a magician and perhaps music If things change, we will offer a casino night which is so popular with all of you! Don't you love suspense!

KEYNOTE SPEAKER
If You Can't Stand Up, Stand Out!
9:00 am to 10:00 am
Breckenridge Ballroom
Mike Schlappi
CSP, MBA, Author, Gold Medalist, Hall of Fame
Lying on a bed paralyzed, with a bullet hole in his chest, Mike promised that if he survived, he would share his unique story all over the world and help as many people as he could. This is happening!
Mike knows that the most important part of any meeting or organization is the people. Whether speaking to a global financial corporation or a community medical facility, he has seen their results change when the beliefs of their people change. He inspires real people, with real problems, to respond differently; teaching that attitude is not a mood, but a position we take regardless of circumstances. That is his specialty!
Obviously Mike has had a few challenges in his life. But he also has a few Olympic gold medals, a few college degrees, has written a few books, runs a few successful businesses, has a few passions and has a few kids (five to be exact). This is all possible because he “walks the talk” (or rolls the scroll).
INVESTING IN KEY EMPLOYEES

Have you ever lost a promising employee? If you have, you know the costs related to turnover are high and getting higher as jobs become more specialized. Rewarding key employees and letting them know how important they are to your business could mean the difference between keeping or losing a valued employee. But, to do that, you need benefits that work well, both short-and-long-term. During this session, learn about the triple protection option approach that your peers are using successfully to recruit and train top talent.

In November, 2020, Kyle was promoted to Account Executive in the Association Risk Management Services department where he currently services Federated’s association relationships within the states of Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska.
