LEBC History

You are invited to attend all LEBC Monthly Luncheon meetings as well as LEBC Sub-Council meetings.

 

Our History

The Louisville Employee Benefits Council (LEBC) was organized in 1959 as a forum for the exchange of information and ideas among professionals in the field of employee benefits. Lee Steiden and Doug Stegner, the founders of the organization, organized monthly luncheon meetings at the Old House Restaurant. During the 1960s, LEBC formalized its organization structure, meeting format and bylaws. This is the same structure in which we operate today. In addition, to facilitate a budget process, annual dues were collected.

Following the passage of ERISA in 1974, LEBC experienced growth in membership and programming. Not only did the number of traditional members grow, the group became more diversified with the addition of several corporate benefits managers during the mid-70s. LEBC also began sponsoring an annual employee benefits seminar often in conjunction with other organizations.

In 1996, to keep pace with the changing needs of the membership, the LEBC adopted a Sub-Council Program. LEBC members, only a voluntary and rotating basis, bring one or more topics (within the topic area of that Sub-Council) for discussion, and facilitate that meetings' discussion. Sub-Coucils provide a forum in which to share ideas and informally ask questions on topics of interest.

The LEBC has become a visible and viable force within the local and national employee benefits communities and is able to attract speakers of national note and support their appearance with often two-thirds of membership in attendance.

As far as we know, the LEBC is the oldest formally organized employee benefits council in the country. Its traditions are well established and have provided the patterns for sustained and substantial growth. We are confident those same traditions of professionalism will carry and guide the LEBC to even greater accomplishments in the years ahead.
