ISSUE  |  September 2017

With the U.S. Labor Day holiday now in the rearview mirror and the unofficial end of summer travels upon us, I cannot help but reflect on my favorite quote from U.S. historian Miriam Beard:
 
"Travel is more than seeing of sights, it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living."
 
That quote has always resonated with me. My best, most creative ideas always come to me when I am away from my daily routine and can view things from a different perspective. On other hand, by the end of my summer travels, I always look forward to returning to the weekly routine that September brings and, for those of us who live in New England, the beautiful fall foliage.
 
I hope you enjoyed some time off this summer and are also anticipating the impending change of seasons.

Kind Regards,

Fall means open enrollment season-an opportunity to adjust your benefits elections prior to the start of the New Year. Yet surveys often reveal that many employees are not fully aware of all their employer-provided benefits and don't take full advantage of them. T o ensure you are not missing out on valuable benefits, be sure to participate in your employer's open enrollment period this year.  Read More
