Welcome 

As I have reported, we have now implemented a financial advice component onto the Money Purchase Plan. Now, members can get real time advice from an Empower financial advisor in order to make better decisions on where you invest your Money Purchase money. Empower will be hosting individual in-person meetings on March 10th and 11th here at the IBEW 531 hall. There will also be opportunities later to do these sessions via teleconference or phone call. The below link will allow you to reserve your spot on March 10th or 11th. This service will be FREE. Members can also pay a small fee to Empower if they want Empower to manage the account for them. The individual in-person meetings are something that we will host dependent on the amount of interest we have. We are hoping to host a couple days every quarter but will adjust depending on how much interest there is. As always, call the hall if you have any questions regarding this. https://wyatt-boss.empowermytime.com/#/

On Saturday, February 28th, I will be hosting a retirement workshop. Doors will open at 9 am, and the presentation will start promptly at 10 am here at the IBEW Local 531 Union Hall. Overall, should last about 2-2.5 hours. We will have coffee/juice and donuts. We have made improvements since the last workshop and I would highly encourage anyone close to retirement to show up. I would also encourage anyone, regardless of age, to show up and better understand what retirements we have, and how they work. This is very informative and will have time for questions. We also recently added 1 on 1 consulting from Empower at no cost to the members. This will help members properly invest their Money Purchase dollars to maximize returns throughout their careers. A representative from Empower will be here to discuss what this is all about, and will even be able to start scheduling appointments at a later date. Spouses are welcome and please register using the following link. www.ibewlocal531.org/pensionworkshop
