In the spring and fall, SERS holds a series of Saturday meetings in various parts of the state for active and retiring members. Members have the opportunity to ask questions of staff members and learn the latest information on retirement issues.
Although there are question-and-answer opportunities, the conferences do not provide one-on-one counseling. If you wish to receive personal retirement counseling, please make an appointment to meet with one of SERS’ counselors in Columbus. To schedule an appointment, please call toll-free 800-878-5853.
If you are unable to attend an in-person conference, you can watch the conference presentation below or visit our YouTube channel. You also have the option of participating in an online webinar; scroll to the top of this page for details.
Members within two years of retirement automatically receive notice by mail of the Retirement Conference in their area. All others interested in attending a conference can register as well, using Account Login.
