John Moorlach was twice re-elected to County Treasurer-Tax Collector. In 2006, voters elected John to serve in his first of two terms on the Board of Supervisors, where he continued his focus on reforming the county’s budget practices and sounding the alarm on the county’s growing unfunded liabilities. As Supervisor, John Moorlach served on Orange County’s most prominent boards, commissions, and committees.Prior to serving as Orange County Treasurer-Tax Collector, John Moorlach was a Certified Public Accountant, Certified Financial Planner, and Vice President of Balser, Horowitz, Frank & Wakeling, an Accountancy Corporation, and was the administrative partner of its Costa Mesa office. He served on numerous nonprofit and industry related boards during his eighteen years in public practice and was a frequent writer and speaker on financial topics.A 1977 graduate from California State University in Long Beach, Moorlach passed the C.P.A. exam in 1978 and completed his studies for the Certified Financial Planner designation in 1987. He earned a Certificate in Public Finance from the University of Delaware, Division of Continuing Education in 1995, the Certificate of Achievement in Public Plan Policy (CAPPP) in Employee Pensions in 1999 and the Trustees Masters Program in 2003 through the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans, and the New Supervisors Training Institute in 2007 from California State University in Sacramento in cooperation with their Center for California Studies.Personal: Moorlach is a California history enthusiast and served as Vice President of the Gold Discovery to Statehood California (1848-1850) Sesquicentennial Foundation Board.

No special registration procedure will be needed to access the Spanish translation, which is built into the test delivery screen. Test-takers will click on a “Leer en Español” (“Read in Spanish”) button to call up a screen showing the question and answer options in both Spanish and English.All ASE tests will continue to have the searchable English-to-Spanish Glossary of technical terms which can be helpful to resolve dialectal differences. In addition, anyone for whom English is a second language may bring a standard, published English-to-foreign language dictionary to use at the test center.In 2020, only the listed four certification and recertification tests will have the new bilingual feature. However, ASE anticipates Spanish translation of the other automobile series tests required for Master status to be available at a future date.

HeidlerTom’s Truck Centers Thank you for your $10,000 donations!I have had the pleasure of working and meeting many dealer owners within the OCADA family. My thanks to Jon Gray, owner of Orange Coast Automotive Group and former OCADA President for taking the time to talk with me. First of all, thank you Jon. I am happy to say you are the newest dealer client of EPIC. ASKALISONQ: As a dealer owner, can you tell me what is most important to you in a benefit package/health insurance?A: Look, price matters- we are running a business. While getting the best rates possible, we want our employees to value their benefits and understand that we took the time and effort to come up with the right plan and the best plan for them.Q: Circling back to budget, you spend a significant amount on health insurance and employee benefits. Do you find it important for your broker to effectively communicate the value of these benefits to your employees? A: Yes, I think some of the time it’s done as an administrative duty and not communicated as, this is going to protect you and your family when or if something horrible happens. It’s important that employees know the value of the plan and it’s explained to them in a manner that they can understand and appreciate. When it’s been explained in the past and not communicated to our employees effectively, they don’t understand the value of what we are providing for them.Q: Retaining and attracting good employees seems to be of great value to you and your team.A: Having employees understand and place value on our health insurance and benefits package is a big part of keeping good employees, attracting new employees and helping us grow our dealership. Having a partner that understands our specific industry, our needs and our community has been a great experience.The dealer team at EPIC takes great pride and responsibility in our partnership with the CNCDA, our support of OCADA and our relationship with the dealership community. Knowing many of you personally, I am proud to be a part of such an amazing group.Q: You get approached by many companies wanting to do business with you. Why did you decide to meet with EPIC and my team? A: Locally, you are known and well thought of in the dealer community. Once I knew more about your affiliation with OCADA and CNCDA, it prompted me to move forward and at least meet with you to see what you could offer us. Q: You had a broker you seemed happy with and thought they were doing a good job when we met. Was EPIC able to produce a better result? A: Yes. We met with you after our broker presented their best offer. In a matter of about a week, you were able to negotiate a better rate, better benefits as well as getting us a budget from our insurance carrier for our plan administration and additional dollars back to Orange Coast Automotive Group with a premium holiday. 25Alison McCallum has been in the employee benefits industry for over 20 years.
