Speaker—one of the nation’s leading authorities on Health Care Reform: Neil Trautwein, Vice President, Employee Benefits Policy Counsel, National Retail Federation
Neil Trautwein joined NRF in 2006 as VP and Employee Benefits Policy Counsel. As such, he heads NRF’s work on health care reform and other benefits-related legislation and regulatory issues, developing both short-term tactics and long-term strategy aimed toward helping retailers provide workers with competitive benefits while controlling costs.
Trautwein is one of the most prominent health care lobbyists in Washington, serving in a leadership role in a wide variety of key health policy positions and coalitions over the past two decades. He also publishes a popular e-mail newsletter that is widely read among congressional staff, industry allies, media and health policy experts across the nation.
Trautwein came to NRF from the National Association of Manufacturers, where he was Assistant VP for Human Resources Policy. Before joining NAM, he served as manager of health care policy at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
