Message from the President
Dear Members and Friends:
I am excited to announce the start of our Association Health Plan! We are partnering with insurance industry leaders to offer the most robust and cost-savings plans possible exclusively for AMAC Members. Plan features include:
- Market leading plans and competitive price points
- Open to sole proprietors, small, medium and large businesses
- Dental, vision and life insurance coverage
- Part-time employee benefit options
The new Association Health Plan allows small employers to participate in medical plans, typically only reserved for large employers. I am pleased to bring our members market-leading medical coverage options to help reduce financial costs and compete for the best employees in the industry.
Sincerely,
Krystal J. Brumfield
President & CEO
Airport Minority Advisory Council (AMAC)
