NEEBC became New England’s premier employee benefits association during Curley’s 14-year tenure. It offers high-quality in-depth programs every month, an annual best practices conference, an annual benefits fair, college scholarships and an online job board.  

“I couldn't be more pleased that my long-time colleague and friend, Patty Houpt, has been selected as the next executive director,” Curley said. “I'm confident that under her guidance the best for NEEBC is yet to come.”

Houpt is a graduate of Denison University. She is a long-time resident of Sudbury, where she is very active in the community and is a founding member of the Sudbury Military Support Network.
