PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
I am grateful for the opportunity to serve in the role of President for the Western Pension & Benefits Council - San Francisco Chapter for the 2025–2026 program year. I have benefited greatly from the friends and colleagues I have met though WP&BC events and while serving on the board of our chapter.
The makeup of the community of benefit professionals continues to evolve and we are striving to provide dynamic programming so that the benefits community sees our chapter as a source of insight, connection and professional growth.
We are also expanding our efforts to engage new voices in our community—welcoming early-career professionals, fostering mentorship, and strengthening our partnerships across the Bay Area. We will also continue to have joint events with organizations the National Association of Stock Planning Professionals and he Defined Contribution Institutional Investment Association.
Now is the time to get involved. Whether you’re a long-time member or new to WP&BC, I encourage you to:
- Attend our events and bring a colleague
- Join a committee and help shape our programming
- Share your expertise as a speaker or panelist
- Mentor a rising professional in our field
- Invite others to experience the value of our community
Together, we can continue to build a strong, inclusive, and forward-thinking benefits community.
Here’s to a successful and impactful year ahead!
Warm regards,
Marc Fosse
President, 2025–2026
