    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" color="#9E0B0F"&gt;&lt;em&gt;One hour of MO insurance CE credit available&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" color="#222222" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Andrew Ky Haynes, Esq. is back by popular demand to provide insight on a compelling issue facing us all.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;He&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Helvetica"&gt;will provide an in-depth discussion of the fiduciary responsibilities and evolving legal obligations of insurance professionals, third-party administrators, consultants, brokers, pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), and other employee benefit plan service providers. This session will examine when a service provider assumes fiduciary status under ERISA, the legal risks associated with fiduciary decision-making, and best practices for managing fiduciary responsibilities in today's increasingly complex regulatory environment.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
