THRIVE
The THRIVE seminar takes a holistic approach to retirement planning. Participants are educated and engaged in personal financial planning as part of a larger exploration of identity, health, and vocation in retirement. THRIVE is available in two formats: as an in-person seminar, and as an online, multiweek offering.
Rooted in A Theology of Benefits, THRIVE — short for Thinking Retirement: Identity, Vocation, and Economics — covers subject matters such as financial planning and retirement healthcare options.
THRIVE is taught by Board of Pensions educators and other experts throughout the country. It includes interactive and hands-on learning opportunities.
"I would recommend the seminar because it provides reminders of issues I had not anticipated fully and answers to specific questions I had asked elsewhere but had not been able to have answered. It also gave me dedicated time to thinking critically about retirement issues."
— Seminar participant/inquirer
Who it’s for
THRIVE is designed for Benefits Plan members who are 10 or fewer years away from retirement, as well as their spouses or surviving spouses. This includes part-time employees who are enrolled in any benefit from the Benefits Plan.
