Session Format

Online

Pensions are often targets of school districts or states wanting to cut budgets on the backs of employees. Additionally, private contractors in school systems would much rather put money into their own profits than employee retirement. This webinar will give you a working knowledge of pensions and access to additional resources so that you can be an effective advocate for pensions.
