Kutak Rock attorney Ruth Marcott will present, and attorney Marcus Zelzer will moderate two panel sessions at the IFEBP’s 72nd Annual Employee Benefits Conference. The panel is titled “Wearing the Right Hat at the Right Time—The Two-Hat Dilemma” and will examine real-life scenarios that explore: 

• The distinction between outside interests and the interests of the participants
• Difficult and uncomfortable decisions
• Understanding co-fiduciary responsibilities
• Tools and processes for effective decision-making
• Appropriate documentation and due diligence

This panel will be presented twice during the conference: first on Monday, October 26 at 1:15 p.m. CT and then again on Tuesday, October 27 at 2:45 p.m. CT.

Ruth will be a panelist alongside two other benefits funds representatives in each session.

Marcus will serve as moderator for both sessions and will ask panelists questions from the audience.

The IFEBP Annual Employee Benefits Conference brings together employee benefits professionals for education on emerging issues, regulatory developments and best practices affecting benefit plans and their participants.
