  • Ensure that all internal administrative processes and procedures are documented, up-to-date, and effectively and efficiently support the benefits program and the day-to-day operation of the EBO.

  • Advise and counsel (in person or via email or telephone) active and retired lay and religious employees regarding benefit issues, policy interpretations, and conflict resolution.

  • Deliver high quality training, consultation, and support to the program’s internal institutional customers, including but not limited to, pastors, heads of schools and principals, business managers, local payroll administrators and bookkeepers, and the Office of Accounting.
