Thousands of conversations. Countless questions an Thousands of conversations. Countless questions answered. One shared purpose.

This year, CalPERS Benefits Education Events (CBEEs) brought members together all across California to learn directly from the people who help administer their retirement and health benefits every day.

For team members like Gemma Jimenez and Jesse Uranga, the most rewarding part isn't just sharing information — it's seeing the moment everything clicks and members leave feeling more informed and confident about their future.

We look forward to meeting members where they are, in person, again in 2027 and beyond.

In the meantime, join us virtually for our next CBEE in August at the link in our bio.
