A Message from the Executive Director: Fall 2024 Newsletter

Dear Active Members, Retirees, and Beneficiaries,

Welcome to the Fall edition of our newsletter! As we transition into this season, I am excited to share some important updates that enhance our communication.

In our ongoing effort to make our newsletter more convenient and accessible, I am pleased to announce that it is now available in both digital and print formats, making it easier for you to stay informed. Retirees for whom we have email addresses should have received the newsletter via email. If you did not receive your emailed copy, please visit our Member Self-Service portal to ensure we have your correct email address on file. For those who prefer not to receive the mailed version, you can opt out of print mailings by visiting the publications page on our website.

I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate our scholarship winners. Four outstanding graduates from the Class of 2024 have each been awarded $2500 scholarships to support their college education at the university of their choice. On behalf of the Retirement Savings Plan, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to these exceptional students as they begin this exciting new chapter in their lives.

As we approach the holiday season, it’s important to take a moment to review and understand your retirement plan and savings options. We are committed to helping you stay on track for a secure retirement. To support this, we offer monthly seminars and personalized meetings with our analysts. Additionally, I encourage you to maximize the benefits of our Deferred Compensation 457B plan, which can significantly enhance your retirement savings. Please view our list of upcoming seminars and make an appointment with one of our analysts if you need additional assistance understanding your retirement options.

Thank you for your continued trust and support. We remain dedicated to serving you and ensuring your financial well-being.

Warm regards,

David A. Randall
Executive Director
