Kris Smith Leads Association for Third Party Benefit Administrators as Chairman

(Seaford, DE) – The Society of Professional Benefit Administrators (SPBA) represents Third Party Administration (TPA) firms, Stop Loss and Service partners from across the United States. SPBA is pleased to announce that Kris Smith will serve as the Chairman of the Board of Directors for a one-year term. Smith currently serves as President with INTEGRA Administrative Group, Inc. www.integratpa.com. He has been an active SPBA member for the past 30 years and a member of the Board for the past 5 years.

Smith brings a unique set of knowledge, insight, and hands-on experience to the Chairman leadership role. “It’s an honor to be elected by my peers to this position,” Smith shared.  “One of SPBA’s primary purposes, in my opinion, is to keep our members informed of the most current Federal and State regulations and provide feedback to the Federal and State regulators as to how these regulations impact the SPBA membership and the health benefit plans they administer. – To be able to take an active role in the growth of an Association like SPBA is a wonderful opportunity.”

“We are excited to have Kris serve as the Chairman of the SPBA Board of Directors,” said Anne Lennan, SPBA President.  “His breadth of experience in the industry will be a great asset to our organization.”

Since 1975, SPBA has been the premier resource for TPAs, Stop Loss and Service Partners to become more informed as to key regulatory and legislative topics that impact their businesses. They also provide a critical forum where members can engage in dialogue with key opinion leaders and have become an important sounding board to those who write and enact employee benefit policies. The administrative team works daily to share with its members breaking news, analysis, and critical information needed to guide their clients, brokers, and other partners.

SPBA’s Board is made up of nine Directors and one emerging professional representative. 

INTEGRA Administrative Group, Inc. is a full service Independent Third-Party Administrator.
