For over a decade we have perfected a customer service model that addresses the demanding needs of public sector. This model and the innovative marketplace strategies we deploy for public sector are just as relevant today to service the needs of private sector employers. Moreover, there are tremendous opportunities for private sector and public sector employers to collaborate and work together to address the challenges surrounding the oversight and management of healthcare plans. We have changed our name to Manquen Vance as part of our current business strategy to reach private sector employers and offer them our current best in class services.
Founded in 2005 by Mark A. Manquen, CPA, MST, we are the specialized experts in the key areas of strategic benefits administration, recommendations on plan design, and healthcare cost/trend reporting. Manquen Vance has been recognized as a premier benefits broker and consultant by a wide variety of municipal clients who value our sophistication, quality and hands-on delivery. The Manquen Vance team of account managers and plan analysts are dedicated to the specific needs of public sector organizations and their group health plans.
