Educational Resource
Workshops
We offer a series of Outreach Workshops to educate and assist you in all stages of your career. New Member, Mid-Career, and Pre-Retirement Workshops provide valuable information regarding long-range retirement planning and offer knowledge you can use to maximize your retirement benefit. Each registered Pre-Retirement Workshop attendee at LACERA receives a personalized Retirement Benefit Estimate. (Personalized estimates and one-on-one consultations are not available at offsite workshops.) Reserve your time with LACERA’s Appointment and Workshop Reservation System or call 800-786-6464 to register. View Workshop Schedules.
