I am honored to be selected for a three-year term as Public Co-Chair of the Employee Benefits Committee. I am grateful to have the opportunity of working with a wonderful Committee and a group of dedicated Co-Chairs: John Harney, Stacey Cerrone and Cassie Springer Ayeni. It will be challenging to follow in the footsteps of Joanne Roskey, who completed her term last year. I am the first Public Co-Chair from the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation and hope that I can meet the examples of hard work and excellence set by past Co-Chairs.

Message from EBC Public Co-Chair Bruce Perlin
Bruce Perlin
I attended my first Midwinter Meeting in 2003 and have attended every meeting since that date. I was a frequent speaker at the meetings, participating on panels discussing issues concerning multiemployer plans. In later years, I became a Subcommittee
Co-Chair and also worked on the Employee Benefits Law Treatise. The work that we do is important and in addition to continuing that excellent work, I would like to focus on attracting new members and mentoring.
I have been a practicing attorney for over thirty-five years, but I still learn something new at each of our meetings. I also appreciate the diversity of opinions on various issues and our lively discussions. Unfortunately, the pandemic prevented us from meeting face-to-face last year and completely this year, but I am looking forward to meeting new members and welcoming back our existing members to future meetings. Last, I welcome your feedback and suggestions on how we can improve our Committee and future programs and meetings.
Bruce Perlin, Assistant General Counsel, Office of the General Counsel, Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation
