The staff of the DCSS Benefits Office partnered with the brokerage
firm of Alexander & Co. to develop a comprehensive benefits
package for our employees. Alexander & Co. continues as
our insurance broker and works with us to review our package so that
we may continue to offer you the best quality benefits.
