We want to make sure all Montanans understand their options.”

Seminars will be held in Billings Monday, February 18, Missoula Wednesday, February 20, and Great Falls Friday, February 22. Seminars will run from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with a reception immediately following. Program presenters will be Jim Edwards, Richard Miltenberger, and Mary Kay Puckett of Mountain West Benefits, an employee benefits consulting firm. Luncheon speaker for all three programs will be Dr. Patrick Barkey of the UM Bureau of Business and Economic Research on health insurance trends.
