membership

Healthy membership growth continued in 2020 , despite the effects of the pandemic . This is reflective of AWB ’ s role as a resource and advocate during a period of immense challenge and disruption . While advocacy and pandemic support was a driver of membership for some employers , the association continues to see strong gains in membership — often small and medium-sized employers — due to product offerings such as HealthChoice , CompWise and My Future 401 ( k ).
