Benefits Summit on Thursday 7/25/2019 (location information will be provided at the time of registration)

This event is designed for members who are in the early to middle stages of their careers (although all are welcome!).  It will cover the basics of your state retirement plan and Social Security to encourage retirement planning at all career stages.  You will learn how your benefit is calculated, when you’re eligible to retire, and how you can increase your benefit at retirement.  You will also get a deeper look at saving (DCP), investing & planning for retirement.
