IBM.Thank you Steve!
Medical Benefits Seminars held in 3 sessions on November 6 and 10. While the number of attendees continues to decline as expected, the high number of visitors to the retiree website in October and November indicate that many retirees are making use of seminar materials.Thank you for your comments and generous feedback.
