Regional Pre-Retirement Conferences

These conferences are free half-day events designed to help employees better understand their TMRS benefits and make plans for their retirement. The programs combine TMRS speakers with experts in Social Security benefits and financial planning. They are especially useful for members eligible for or considering retirement. TMRS provides a continental breakfast, and spouses are welcome to attend. Regional conferences usually are planned in the first seven months of the year. In 2012 we are planning to hold the following conferences in cities across the state:

TMRS Annual Training Seminar

Annual Seminars allow city administrators and decision-makers to network with TMRS staff and peers and keep abreast of TMRS changes and policies.

Post-Restructuring Funding Workshops| Previous years' Funding Workshops

The 2011 Funding Workshops were designed for city finance personnel, to keep them informed of TMRS changes after fund restructuring. We scheduled six workshops from July 12 through August 4, 2011; more may be scheduled if needed. Each workshop featured a 30-45 minute presentation, followed by questions, and time to meet with TMRS Staff. | Funding Workshop Presentation
