First, A Message From FPPA Executive Director Dan Slack
To our members, employers, and other stakeholders,
To say there’s a lot happening in our world right now would be an understatement. It is clear that this pandemic has significantly impacted our members and employers, and by extension, our staff. Despite the challenges this period presents, FPPA is busily working behind the scenes. My entire statement is linked below, but here are the key takeaways:
• Member benefits are safe. We’ve taken great care to ensure that assets are protected and benefit payments are being made on time
• Day-to-day operations continue as normal. Our staff is working remote, but we remain at full capacity
• We’re here if you need us. Our staff is available over phone, email or video conference
