President Garcia Morales, Superintendent Jara, and Board of Trustees I am here to provide an update and express my gratitude for the continued
opportunity to serve Clark County educators.

• We have consistently achieved service and financial objectives,
  • Over the past 18 months we have maintained positive financial results while paying claims timely and building cash
    reserves.
  • Our confidence remains high in meeting our obligation regarding the $35 million prepayment.
• Our priority has been to establish a culture of consistency and service.
  • We implemented standard operating procedures and policies to eliminate exceptions and manage administrative costs.
  • We monitor our performance and service with intention.
• In the last several months, I haven’t received any direct emails from educators in need of my assistance.
  • An indication our work and your commitment are paying off.
  • There was a time when I received email every night and each weekend,
  • In fact, I have not received a complaint or problem email from any of you in a very long time.
    • For the record, my email is Tzumtobel@ththealth.org, and we are available for any educator who,requires help.
• As we approach the upcoming Open Enrollment season,
  • We look forward to communicating next year’s benefits.
  • We currently have no plans to change benefits, vendors, or providers,
  • Our open enrollment communication campaign is targeted to start July 31st.
• Communication timing and any changes are subject to the results of current negotiations.

Thank you for your time.
