As an Area VP at Gallagher, I work to create systems and solutions that care for people and use my expertise to build bridges between strategy and humanity, cost and compassion. My approach goes beyond template solutions, focusing on creative, compliant strategies that prioritize both humans and long-term impact.I bring this belief to life beyond work as the founder of Hagar's Well Foundation, supporting women—especially single parents—on their path to financial independence. Through this mission, I strive to build systems that care for people both in and outside the workplace.Attendee information will be shared with our sponsors and guest speaker.This program is pending approval for 3.0 PDCs toward SHRM-CP® or SHRM-SCP® recertification and 3.0 General Credit pending approval through HRCI. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/58218ed0-a8fa-11f0-a757-ab99a90672a4-rimg-w1200-h229-dc000000-gmir.png 2025 Platinum Sponsor - OneDigitalContact to learn more! t: (661)965-3833 https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/58c23ba0-a8fa-11f0-a757-ab99a90672a4-rimg-w1200-h291-dc000000-gmir.png 2025 Gold Sponsor - ArchbrightContact to learn more! t: (206)664-7170 https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/59653260-a8fa-11f0-ba86-a3b9cb3896e2-rimg-w1200-h670-dcffffff-gmir.jpg 2025 Gold Sponsor - WA529Contact to learn more! t: (360) 484-1197 - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/tacoma/the-case-for-care-and-cost-a-total-rewards-blueprint/100001804972694919 - **Event Categories**: meetups, virtual - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fthe-case-for-care-cost-a-total-rewards-blueprint-tickets-1804972694919 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 45, max: 95, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Tacoma - **state**: WA - **country**: United States - **location**: Emerald Queen Casino and Hotel.
