SUMMARY:2025 Pre-Retirement Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Are you starting to think about retirement? Let’s plan this next chapter together! Join us for the Pre-Retirement Seminar for clergy and conference lay employees\, happening October 13–15\, 2025\, at the Holiday Inn in beautiful Spring Lake\, Michigan. Hosted by the Conference Board of Pension and Health Benefits\, this inspiring and practical event brings together experienced professionals in retirement\, financial\, and estate planning all to help you prepare with clarity and confidence.\n\nThis year\, we've intentionally lengthened the event to provide more time for you to absorb and retain the presented information. Our goal is to create a more relaxed\, retreat-like atmosphere where you can truly focus on learning and connecting at a less harried pace.\n\nIt’s a cooperative effort across the Michigan Conference\, and we’re here to support you every step of the way. Register by August 26\, 2025\, to receive a Personal Pension Projection Printout from Wespath\, tailored just for you. We’ve also made it easy to focus on learning and connecting: meals (dinner Monday\, breakfast and lunch Tuesday\, and breakfast and lunch Wednesday) are included in your registration.\n\nRead more here for full details on session topics\, the event schedule\, and how to register—we can’t wait to see you there!
