Learn About COSE’s New Health Benefit Option
For many small businesses, the cur-rent health insurance landscape has limited choice and flexibility when it comes to offering you and your em-ployees healthcare coverage.
To provide you with a more competi-tive set of healthcare coverage solu-tions for your company and your employees, COSE has partnered with Medical Mutual to offer the COSE Health and Wellness Trust, also known as the COSE MEWA. This is a multiple employer welfare arrange-ment (MEWA) designed as a self-funded benefit option for businesses with 50 or fewer employees. Business owners with no employees are eligible to apply. Call 866-553-5427.
According to Harvard Business Review, "95% of people said that face-to-face meetings are a key factor in successfully building & maintaining long-term relationships." Start building and maintain-ing long-term relationships at our Business to Business Expo. There is still time to reserve your table: 8 ft. tables are only $150 or a 4 ft table is just $100. It’s a small investment to help grow your business. This is a dedicated business to business show with admission by business card only. Sign up for the exclusive Speed Networking at the Business to Business Expo. There are a limited number of spots open. Registration is on a first come, first serve basis. Speed networking is a net-working format designed to accelerate business contacts in a structured and timed environment. The B2B Expo will immediately follow the speed networking.
Attendance is exclusively for Chagrin Valley Chamber members and business owners. A business card is required to enter.
