Moving Forward With You and For You

™ the publication you need to read each issue to keep up to date in our industry, but to continue to keep it ahead of the curve, reporting on the issues coming down the road, rather than simply covering what's already happened. Four cases in point come to mind: Our August issue (and my first) was our Outlook issue, where we bring you the top experts in a variety of areas to give their predictions on what will be happening on the coming year and what you can do now to be ready for new trends, products, services, legislation, technology, etc. In our October issue, we'll be launching Consumer-Directed Health Care Solutions ™ newsmagazine, what we believe is the first print magazine in this space. Six times each year, we'll update you on what you need to know regarding CDHC, including news and information on providers, wellness, FSAs, HSAs, HRAs, policy and the gamut of important issues in this arena. We're especially pleased to be working with the #1 trade show in this space, the Consumer Directed Health Care Conference & Expo. CDHCC's Chairman and CEO, Skip Brickley, has agreed to serve as the Chairman of our editorial advisory board and has already begun work helping us develop our content and experts for our debut issue. We've updated bcsolutionsmag.com to make it more of a resource for you to keep up to date with news and information vital to your job. Stop by weekly so you don't miss a thing happening in the benefits and compensation field. Finally, we're creating a new B&CS ™ editorial advisory board of some of the most well-respected experts in the field, some of who you'll meet this issue as we begin to introduce these VIPs. You'll be happy to know that our former editor, Ian Tocher, will continue to work on B&CS ™ as a senior editor, lending his years of experience with the publication and industry to each issue. We've also hired a new associate editor, Heather Loveridge, to help with our expanding print and online content. Heather brings a wealth of experience as an editor and writer and will be a strong addition to the FieldMedia team. The continued expansion of B&CS ™ means seasoned leadership will be needed to keep things on track, and we're pleased to announce that Kurt Kriebel, our national sales manager for all products, has been named associate publisher of B&CS ™ . "Kurt has really put his signature on this publication from editorial to circulation to marketing to sales, and under his leadership, it will continue to evolve," said Doug Field, CEO of FieldMedia. I and the rest of the B&CS ™ staff look forward to helping keep you ahead of the curve…feel free to contact us with any comments and suggestions you have for the publication.
