Financial Literacy Workshop
2021-04-21 17:00 - 19:00 | Melville Marriott, 1350 Walt Whitman Rd, Melville, NY, 11747, United States
Each year at around this time, CAS sponsors a Financial Literacy Program for our members contemplating retirement. Because of the current COVID-19 pandemic, some members are actively thinking about retirement and planning for life post retirement. This year we will offer socially distanced in-person conferences for up to 12 members according to New York State and CDC guidelines. Masks and hand sanitizer will be provided for all participants.
It is never too early to start thinking about retirement and actively planning for it. Whether you are thinking of retiring sooner or later down the road, we have developed another essential workshop for our members as a part of our continuing CAS Financial Literacy Program that you may find extremely helpful. On behalf of CAS, I would like to extend you an invitation to attend a workshop designed to inform, educate, and enhance your financial literacy as you prepare for the next phase of your life.

The Empire State Supervisors and Administrators Association (ESSAA), the state affiliate of the Council of Administrators and Supervisors (CAS) will be holding their Annual Spring Meeting on Friday, May 21st, at 7:00 pm via Zoom. Usually, the meeting is held somewhere statewide in person. However, due to the ongoing Covid pandemic, we will be restricted to a virtual gathering. Although we are disappointed that we will not have a physical meeting, we are excited to be able to invite more of our unit presidents to join the virtual meeting on Zoom.
The evening virtual gala will begin at 7:00 pm, featuring a keynote address by California’s Principal of the Year, Dr. Mark Anderson, and culminating with the presentation of awards to this year’s winners of The ESSAA Administrator of the Year from each ESSAA Region.
This year the ESSAA Administrator of the Year from CAS will be Dr. LaQuita Outlaw, Principal of Bay Shore Middle School and CAS Director of Professional Development.
More specific information will follow but I wanted you to be aware of the event and save the date!
