Gehring Group, A Risk Strategies Company

Yesterday we welcomed our clients back to our Benefits Administration Workshop 2.0! We built upon what was taught in BAW 1.0 and explored self-funded strategies, on-site clinics, health plan strategy & budgeting, resources & more! Congratulations to the first BAW 2.0 class of 2026!

Our first Benefits Administration Workshop 1.0 of 2026 was a success! Our teammates kept things fun as they presented on topics specifically related to the Public Sector Benefits Administrator. Congratulations to our newest BAW 1.0 graduates!

Danielle is a familiar and trusted face, having been part of the Gehring Group family for 21 years. She recently served on the National Team for Risk Strategies, and she is now bringing her extensive public sector expertise and passion for the community back to our team to ensure your service experience remains exceptional and that we continue building strong, lasting client relationships.   John Muller has been named VP, Strategy & Growth – Public Sector, where he will be leading our growth efforts across the state.
