What's New at ASPA!aspa
 
Ellen Dosdall, adjunct professor in our Master in Public Administration program sends greetings as the ASPA (American Society of Public Administration) Minnesota Chapter Interim President!  The Chapter is "on the move" - seeking new opportunities to add value to its members and the profession.  Members will soon receive an email asking them to take a brief survey about what Minnesota ASPA can do to enhance their membership experience.  If you're not a member, take a look at the benefits of ASPA membership - connect with peers, seek opportunities, share your experiences, meet new people, and build your skills.  Everyone is invited to join the new Linkedin site at MN - ASPA to connect with local members and find chapter updates. In addition, check out the new offerings by the ASPA national organization on line at www.aspanet.org

 Risk Management
 
 
The School of Business is excited about the next in a series of professional development seminars to be held on Tuesday, June 15, at the Minneapolis Location.
 
Join us for this dynamic & hands-on seminar that will share strategies to immediately reduce wasteful spending and lower premiums without shifting costs to employees.  No one pays more for healthcare than U. S.-based employers, yet no one has less to show for it.  Be a part of the change - learn how to reverse the trend of employees living longer/living sicker, educate plan members on how to enjoy cost savings by becoming responsible for their own health outcome, and how to implement the 7 crucial steps of Value-Based Benefit Plan Design.  This seminar is an in-depth exploration of how to purchase and implement healthcare benefits that prioritize the health of your employees, while also gaining a measurable return on investment.
 
Attendees will earn 7 CEUs credits from HRCI.
