At the ballpark, exam takers will get $15 in Comiskey Cash by presenting their original ticket of admission to the exam (for FAP modules, please bring proof). Exam supervisors, proctors, and review class instructors will also get the $15 in Comiskey Cash by presenting a photo ID if their name is on Pat Pruitt’s list of exam volunteers and instructors.  Members and others will be responsible for their own cash expenditures.

The New Retirement – Phased Retirement and the Employer

What should employers do as the world is changing around them? The new retirement is increasingly a mixture of retirement with some work, and it focuses on engagement.  As individual interests and societal needs come together, people are retiring differently and what they do changes during different “phases of retirement”. About half of them work as part of retirement and phase into retirement in some way. The presentation will focus on helping employers build an action plan in response to the new retirement as they face the need to manage talent and adapt to the changing workforce.
