Just a Minute! on the Council's Membership Team

August 27, 2025

As we reported in an August 26 Memo to Members, Deanna Johnson, the American Benefits Council’s beloved vice president, membership, is retiring this fall. After 27 years of outstanding service to the organization, its members and its mission, we wish her well in her next chapter.

To succeed Deanna in leading the Council’s membership department, we are exited to present Kim Durcho, most recently of BIPAC, who has demonstrated in her career a ability to grow and strengthen relationships with members, with a focus on aligning and enhancing all components of the member experience.

In this episode of Just a Minute!, Council President Katy Johnson gives Deanna her flowers and welcomes Kim, who introduces herself and invites members (present and future) to contact her with questions or any membership needs.

As always, please subscribe to the Council's YouTube channel for more video updates on benefits policy and exclusive services for Council members.
