Northampton - Robert Cummings, CEO and founder of American Benefits Group of Northampton, Massachusetts, has been elected President of the National Association of Professional Benefits Administrators (NAPBA).

NAPBA is a national nonprofit that is the leading independent compliance and business practices standards organization for the Third-Party Benefits administration industry. Mr. Cummings has been a board member of the NAPBA since 2007.

"The NAPBA membership collectively manage pre-tax account based benefit plans, COBRA administration and other benefits services for more than 6 million consumers and 100,000 employer benefits plans nationwide." said Robert Cummings. "I'm honored to have been chosen to lead the organization during such an important time in its history. Establishing and promoting best practice standards in compliance and TPA business management are of paramount concern for the benefits industry.
