Is Your Ministry Certified? More than 50 ministries within Citygate Network are currently certified, with others working to gain certification. Certification demonstrates a commitment to excellence that’s noticed by donors and others. The certification process also mitigates expo­ sure to poten­ tial legal and liability prob­ lems, which can earn the min­ istry significant discounts on insurance premiums, particularly when the organization is part of Citygate Network’s insurance program. Save the Dates for Citygate Network’s CEO Summit Citygate Network’s annual CEO Summit is headed to Indianapolis this year. The event will be held August 27–29, at the Hilton Indianapo­ lis. CEOs: It’s more important than ever for you to network with your peers, so set aside those dates (plus travel days) to make sure you can attend. Citygate Benefits Program Launches New Service The Citygate Benefits program offers medical and prescription insurance coverage, dental insurance, vision coverage, life insur­ ance, AD&D coverage, and now, the program has launched Medicare consult­ ing. The alphabet soup of Medicare Parts A, B, C, and D; Medicare Gap Coverage; MAPD; and PDP is confus­ ing to navigate, so we’ve contracted with Medicare experts Easy Medicare Planning to help. Your member ministry doesn’t even have to be part of the benefits program to get this help.
