Each year, organizations like yours face the daunting task of maintaining their current level of benefits while staying within budget.
Most broker/consultants will go to market on behalf of their clients and present solutions that simply increase out of pocket costs for employees. But these "solutions" never really solve the underlying reasons their carrier is increasing costs.
Our strategy is different. It's measured. It's clear. And it bends the cost curve so our clients can recruit top talent and retain their current employees.

Corporations both large and small invest millions of dollars around their employee benefits programs each year. At EBS, we feel it is our responsibility to help educate, bring awareness to, and ensure that your employees have a clear understanding of all that is offered to them. We communicate this by using several outstanding methods that make it easier than ever to understand - and work with - everything offered.

Because EBS has invested in re-directing the employee benefits process and re-educating our clients and staff, other brokers have noticed. As a result, many have asked us to partner with them in managing their own corporate clients.

The world of employee benefits can be a treacherous path to navigate without the right partner. Recent regulation has made it even more difficult for businesses to remain in compliance.
Don't be left in the dark when it comes to understanding your employer responsibilities. With the increased scope of regulation, we feel auditing performed by the Department of Labor will cover all group sizes with greater intensity.

The Early Years: Never-Ending Summer
Amanda grew up in Syracuse, New York with her little brother, Logan. They're closer than most siblings after spending their entire childhood together, and Amanda considers Logan one of her best friends. Summer is Amanda's favorite season, and the pair would fill their days with sports or swim together at the community pool. But like most older siblings, Amanda soon left for college, ready to pursue her next adventure.
What we know about Amanda: Putting Down Roots
After graduating from Ithaca College with a degree in Television-Radio and Digital Marketing, Amanda felt the job market in Upstate New York looked slim. She applied to jobs up and down the East Coast before landing a position in Baltimore. Even though she only had one friend in the area, she packed up, moved, and never looked back. Since then, she's built a network of friends, started a family with her husband, Brandon, and their daughter, Palmer, and joined our team at EBS!
LAX to the MAX: I played lacrosse for two years in college.
Tap it out. I took dance lessons from age two until graduating high school, and tap is - by far - my favorite form of dance!
No Standing. Only Dancing. My family and I love music, and we have dance parties in the living room on the reg.

Early Years: Light up the Stage!
Growing up in Hampden in northern Baltimore, Hope's stage presence became obvious at a young age. She sang with her church choir, school choirs, and in school musicals. She even took home the $50 grand prize during a middle school talent show! Her courage to perform for large audiences drove her to audition and win acceptance into the All-County and All-State Choirs, and she even performed at Meyerhoff Symphony Hall. No stage fright here!
What we know about Hope:
Hiking her way to EBS
In the summer, we most often find Hope with her Chocolate Lab fur-baby, Kona, playing at the dog park, hiking mountain trails, or swimming at the beach. Hope says, "I am a summer girl, so you'll find me outside in the warm sun, any chance I get." She certainly loves to enjoy the outdoors, but now that she has hiked her way to EBS, Hope's a ray of sunshine for our team as well!
Hitting it outta the park: I performed at Oriole Park while singing the National Anthem with the Perry Hall High School Chamber Choir.
This one time, at band camp? I was the Pom Captain for my high school marching band's pom squad, and during practice I was attacked by wild geese.
Rap it out: I can rap every word to Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Got Back."
The Mad Food Scientist: I will eat soup and crabs all year round - soup even in 100-degree weather, and crabs for Christmas. I also like odd food mixtures such as burnt popcorn and ketchup. (No judgement until you try it!)

Early years
The Baby of the Family
Born and raised in Hyattsville, Maryland, Ana (aka Bird) was the youngest of three. She is best friends with her sister, though they are six years apart, and she and her brother are considered Irish Twins. Ana was a dedicated student and rowed crew in high school, but she also had a wild side. Ana pierced her nose over six times during school. Since piercings were against school rules, she had to take it out whenever she got caught. What a rebel!
What we know about Ana
The Perfect Work-Life Balance
Before starting her new career at EBS, Ana worked as a breastfeeding counselor at Women Infant Children (WIC), a non-profit, community-based healthcare agency and then took on a role at a cemetery (Parklawn Memorial Park). She now shares her time with our team at EBS and her 8-year-old daughter Ava Rose. Ava loves to play in the park and always keeps Ana on her toes.
My Feline Best-Friend: I have a cat named Squeeky, who is 23 years old and still going strong!
Confessions of a Shopaholic: I will let you in on a little secret - I often shop for clothes for my already-full closet, and you can frequently catch me buying home décor for my future home.
My Baby Bird: After 32 hours of labor, I named my baby girl, Ava. My family nickname has always been Bird, and Ava means bird in Latin. Ironically, the name is also a 3-letter palindrome, like mine!

Early Years: Crabsolutely clawsome.
Lucia was born in Hong Kong as the youngest of six. With four sisters and a brother, they were a close-knit family. So much so, Lucia's older sister and her future husband took the three younger sisters on some of their dates, embarking on many fun adventures together. Lucia's family also loves to vacation and eat crabs. When they get started eating crabs, the meal could literally take half a day!
What we know about Lucia:
A cultural connoisseur.
While attending school at University of Maryland College Park, Lucia studied speech communication and business. Since graduating, she's furthered her career while traveling the globe to places like Sweden, Italy and Suriname, and she's hoping to visit Taiwan and Australia. Lucia enjoys discovering other cultures, trying new restaurants, and cooking different cuisines at home. She says our fun vibe and culture brought her to EBS, and we're glad it did.
Code Switching: I speak Chinese, both Cantonese and Mandarin dialects.
Four Peas in a Pod: I have four sons. During one of my pregnancies, I didn't know I was carrying twins until I had an ultrasound at 20 weeks. I only gained seven pounds, and the twins were five-and-a-half pounds each!
Better Than Music! I have recorded a few podcasts and YouTube videos.
