In this episode, we share the short version of Concourse Benefits’ origin story. (Future episodes will dig deeper into each co-founding member with one on one interviews.)

The Concourse Benefits entity we have today is a collaboration between two companies and a team of seven individuals geographically located across North America.

Each founder brings unique industry expertise resulting in the creation a central gathering platform where associations and businesses can come together, connect and gain value from the leveraged aggregate power collective network. That’s why we chose to call it Concourse, a gather place where everything connects.

The two companies are Associated Benefits Consulting and Concourse Partners LLC. The owners of Associated Benefits Consulting are Marcie O'Dwyer and Susan Ellender from Louisiana, and the owners of Concourse Partners LLC are myself, Marc Palud from Manitoba, Boyd Stough from Georgia, Colin Schmidt from British Columbia, Ted Westerheide from Florida and Paul Mayer from Hawaii.

The official public launch of the Concourse Benefits Platform was in 2024 at the Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives Convention in Dallas, Texas. Further details will be covered in future podcast episodes.
