It’s a new season of benefit services.

Our Carpenters Benefit Plans’ logo is more than just an image. It expresses the important role our organization plays in our member’s career, family life, and ultimate plans for a rewarding retirement. It also reflects our mission to provide exceptional service, driving innovation, and deep commitment to you. Our new logo takes these same values and refreshes them:

Who we are. The newly formed Mid-America Carpenters Regional Benefit Services, Inc. (MACRBS) is a key partner of the Mid-America Carpenters Regional Council. This is the same team of people who have always administered benefits for the former St. Louis – Kansas City Carpenters Regional Council.

Who we serve. We serve the plan participants (often referred to as members) and their families who are entitled to benefits under the St. Louis – Kansas City health, pension, vacation and annuity trust funds.

What are the benefit plans? These plans are ‘multi-employer’ trust funds governed by boards of trustees (Boards). The Boards are made up of equally represented labor representatives and employers. They govern under a trust agreement established in accordance with federal regulations and guidelines. The Boards establish and abide by a plan document which provides all the participation rules and benefits. The plans are funded by contributions from signatory employers and provide benefits to eligible members.

Logo description:

1. The left icon represents the health/wellness/healthcare benefits for members and their families.
2. The center icon represents the Mid-America Carpenters Regional Council. It sits at the center because it is the foundation of all the services we provide. All the services we provide wrap around the MACRC. At the core includes a noble career, premiere training, worksite safety, union security, and more. It is also the gold standard by which we measure ourselves.
3. The right icon is a sunset – focus on meaningful and fulfilling retirement, transitioning into the ‘sunset years’ of our members’ lives.
