Are you beginning to think about retirement? Many of our members will tell you that retirement truly lives up to the hype — but preparing for it is essential.

Central OEA/NEA is here to support you on that journey.

On Saturday, March 14, 2026, from 9:00–10:30 AM, Central OEA/NEA will host a Virtual Pre‑Retirement Workshop.

We are pleased to welcome Tamla Cole, STRS Counselor, who will share valuable information about the steps you need to take as you prepare for retirement. Ms. Cole has presented this workshop across Ohio and with us for many years, and it continues to be one of our most popular events.

This workshop is especially helpful for members who are within 3–5 years of retirement, but all members are welcome to participate.

To register:

• Login to your Central account (or create one if you don't have one)
• Scroll down to the session "Pre-Retirement Workshop" and click "going."
• Wait a moment for your selection to register. That's it.

We look forward to seeing you on March 14 from 9:00–10:30 AM on Zoom (we will email registered attendees the Zoom link a few days prior to the workshop).
