Our Team

Dominion Benefits develops your benefit plan within the context of your company’s culture, philosophy, objectives and competitive environment using a comprehensive and strategic approach. Before trusting this significant company expenditure to any organization, you want to be sure the people with whom you partner are capable of proactively managing this increasingly complex task.

Our Principals and Consultants have nearly 200 years of cumulative experience in employee benefits. We have purposely assembled a diverse team. Our Principals and Senior Consultants have held substantial positions with nationally recognized health care and benefit companies, including President and CEO, Senior Medical Director, Chief Operating Officer, Executive Vice President, Senior Underwriter, and District Manager. The fact that our firm’s members held such key positions (with profit and loss accountability) for prominent carriers enables us to better understand how to identify and secure the best value for our clients.


	Dominion Benefits is a comprehensive source for expert, unbiased advice for employee health and welfare benefits.

Our Principals are involved directly in all aspects of the client
relationship, including plan design, reporting and analysis, long-term strategic planning and service intervention. Our Principals and
Associates have complementary carrier and benefit consulting experience.
