Thank you, Monterey! We were on the ground this Thank you, Monterey!
 
We were on the ground this past week at our latest in-person CalPERS Benefits Education Event (CBEE), where we informed, advised, and listened.
 
While many of the faces coming through the front doors were new, our mission and purpose remained the same: helping members better understand their benefits.
 
Through various classes over the course of two days and a multitude of one-on-one consultations in our designated Ask the Experts area, we felt we'd done our jobs by the time we wrapped. We're also confident in saying that a majority of those who came left more knowledgeable and empowered.
 
Our CBEEs serve as destinations for CalPERS members all throughout California to see us in action, and we hope to catch you at the next one if you couldn’t attend.

A special thanks to all who helped organize last week's event, and to everyone who lent their time, energy, and services in educating our members.

For more about our CBEEs and a calendar of upcoming dates, go to the link in our bio.
