CPC Update

Notes from Emily

Happy Friday, everyone! I hope you were able to get out and enjoy the beautiful weather yesterday. Thursday sure felt great - we spent the entire evening outdoors. Such a tease, because now here we are back to another HOT weekend! Lots of chores around the yard and house this weekend for me - Jimmy did not enjoy seeing the list I started! We do get to go have some fun Sunday evening though. Jimmy and I are going to see Iron & Wine and Andrew Bird at the Jones Assembly. Can't wait! There's a lot of fun things going on around the city this weekend - I hope you all can find something fun to do too!

Things are in full-swing around CPC. From Emma's middle school STEM days, Jeremy's weekly college visits, CRD's academy presentations, assessment's non-stop testing, Bryan working with multiple entities to serve students well, Jan's constant fielding of questions and calls, the enrollment consultants and career advisors endless assistance of students and potential students, and Dawn's never-ending task list (which I may add to from time to time!). I appreciate you all and your diligience in serving everyone day in and day out. The customer service in this department is unmatched!

Be on the look out late next week for some new lettering near the CPC and Assessment doors at the south entrance. Hopefully, this will help alleviate the confusion when individual walk in and need help! Exciting times!!

It's Option Period!

The time is here to begin reviewing your benefits and make informed decisions about your insurance options for Plan Year 2023.

If you are enrolled in health, dental, vision or life insurance with the Employees Group Insurance Division (EGID), you will be receiving your 2023 Option Period Enrollment/Change Form at your home address/PO Box any day now. Please be sure to watch your mail closely. Your completed form (change or no change) will need to be submitted to Human Resources by Noon on Friday, October 7th. It will be important for you to submit the pre-printed form EGID mails to you as it will reflect your name and address along with what you and your dependents, if applicable, are currently enrolled in and will reduce the confusion of a completed blank form, in which EGID does not make available until right on top of our deadline.

Option Period meetings will be taking place next week (schedule below). There will be one in person meeting and one meeting via Zoom. You will need to register through Frontline – Professional Growth (My Learning Plan). If you register for the Zoom meeting, you will receive the link the day before the meeting.

Our representative with OMES-EGID, Lori Whittern will present on the plan changes for 2023 and then introduce each representative available to present on the health plans. We will not have representatives for the dental and vision plans.

The following link will take you to the Employee Benefit Options Guide 2023, which provides the premiums, benefit changes and comparison of benefits for health, dental and vision plans:
