Employer Advisory Council (E.A.C.) The Crescent PPO by-laws allow for the formation of an Employer Advisory Council, made up of a representative from each employer that accesses the Crescent network of healthcare providers. There are currently around 90 members of the EAC who are invited to a meeting every other month to discuss items of importance to regional employers and to be updated about Crescent's activities. Four members of the EAC are nominated to server on Crescent's Board of Delegates to ensure the employers have a voice in the governance of the company. The monthly meetings usually include a 30-40 minute educational presentation on a subject of interest to human resources and benefits management professionals. The meetings are sponsored and hosted by Crescent PPO, but are conducted by employer representatives. EAC meetings are usually limited to representatives from member companies, but some meetings are open to the wider Western North Carolina employer community. In particular, certain educational sessions are videoconferenced to locations throughout the region and other employer representatives are invited to attend. "Crescent's
Employer Advisory Council or EAC is a unique and important way for
employers who access the Crescent network to have a voice in the
company's direction. In
2005, a third EAC voting member was invited to the Crescent Board
of Delegates, followed by a fourth voting member in June 2006, underlining
the important role played by employer representatives in governance
of the company.
