Mission Statement:  The OCEBC is dedicated to the non-partisan exchange of topical information, education, and the knowledge advancement of its members as well as the promotion of sound principles, procedures and practices in the realm of employee benefits.

Founded locally in 1978, the Orange County Employee Benefit Council (OCEBC) is a dynamic organization of professionals whose principal employment is in or is impacted by the employee benefits field. 

The OCEBC has a diverse membership nearly 500 members drawn from employers, insurance consultants and brokers, group marketing representatives, life underwriters, CPA’s, attorneys, third-party administrators, providers, HMO’s, PPO’s, utilization review organizations and other professionals involved in the industry.

The OCEBC holds nine (9) breakfast meetings a year featuring speakers from various segments of the industry.  The organization works diligently to secure high quality speakers who can share their pertinent insights on contemporary issues affecting the world of employee benefits.  The council strives for balance in its presentation offerings so that national perspectives on health care are compared and contrasted with various economists’ and industry analysts’ views on business issues in Orange County.  Important and controversial subjects also are explored so that members can use the most current information and trends in their daily client work.

Since its founding, the OCEBC has been fortunate to have as presidents many of the leaders within the Orange County employee benefits industry.  For 30 years, the council has remained the premier benefits organization in Southern California.
