Recently several CAS members who are members of the NYS Employees Retirement System (ERS) asked that we schedule a retirement workshop for them on Zoom focused solely on the ERS Employees Retirement System. Consequently, we have reached out to our retirement planning team and scheduled a CAS ERS Retirement Workshop on Zoom for Tuesday, June 7, 2022 at 5:00 pm.

If you are contemplating retirement and planning for the next phase of your life, you may want to consider participating in this worthwhile event.
