As we gear up for National PEO Week, I’m reminded just how powerful our collective voice can be when we come together as an industry. In the next few weeks, many of us will gather in Washington, D.C. for the annual PEO Capitol Summit—a cornerstone event that continues to elevate our visibility and influence on Capitol Hill.

It is more than a series of meetings and sessions; it’s a demonstration of the value we bring to small and mid-sized businesses nationwide. The real-world stories about how PEOs support job growth, provide access to employee benefits and help businesses navigate a complex regulatory landscape matter. Policymakers need to hear firsthand how their decisions affect employers and employees, and there is no substitute for authentic voices.

However, it’s important to remember that advocacy is an ongoing commitment, not just something reserved for PEO Capitol Summit. The policy environment continues to evolve, and the decisions being made at both the federal and state levels have significant implications for our businesses and clients. That’s why sustained engagement with policymakers is so critical. It’s not just about showing up once a year; it’s about maintaining relationships to ensure that our perspective is consistently represented.

A key component of that ongoing effort is NAPEO PAC. The PAC enables us to support candidates who understand and champion the interests of the PEO industry. It ensures that we have a seat at the table and that our voice is heard in meaningful ways. Participation in NAPEO PAC is one of the most direct and impactful ways you can contribute to our collective success. Every contribution strengthens our ability to advance policies that support our members and the businesses they serve.

I encourage you to consider deepening your engagement—whether by attending future advocacy events or contributing to NAPEO PAC.

As we get ready to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary of independence, NAPEO PAC is marking this milestone with a special fundraising campaign. For 250 years, American enterprise has powered growth, innovation and opportunity. The PEO industry represents those same values by empowering businesses, strengthening workforces and advancing free enterprise.

All NAPEO PAC contributors are invited to attend the PAC appreciation event during PEO Capitol Summit. Those who contribute at least $1,250 will receive a commemorative American flag flown over the United States Capitol. Plus, those who contribute at least $2,500 will also receive a custom NAPEO PAC Yeti cooler bag.

Our industry’s strength has always come from its people—dedicated professionals who believe in the value of what we do and are willing to fight for it. As we look ahead, let’s continue to build on that momentum so we help shape our industry’s future.

CLIENT-LEVEL FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

If you asked someone in the PEO space what he or she thought of actuarial science a positive response might be reserve analyses or accruals. A negative response might be collateral calls or rate increases. Naturally, the varied reactions stem from whether there is positive or negative news coming from the work of the actuary. Yet, one of the most helpful projects an actuary can perform for a PEO, eliciting either positive and negative reactions, is a client-level financial analysis.
