Most of the webinars have been recorded. If you are unable to attend a webinar at it’s scheduled time, you will most likely find a video recording you can watch when it’s more convenient - or, browse the video library. If you are a member of plan 1, we invite you to watch an online video about your plan: PERS Plan 1, TRS Plan 1 or WSPRS Plan 1.
