Retirees
Connected, Relevant, Active
“Often when you think you’re at the end of something, you’re at the beginning of something else.”
– Fred Rogers
CWC can help you keep connected, relevant and active after you retire. Benefits of retiree membership include opportunities:
Socialize with other CWC retirees:
- Connect with other CA State Retirees, a more experienced organization exclusively representing state government retirees.
- Special retiree rates for conferences and workshops
- Join friends on the CWC Group on LinkedIn
Continue to learn new things through CWC workshops:
- Retirement and Social Security Resources seminars
- Understanding a private pension – A private pension is a plan into which individuals contribute from their earnings, which then will pay them a private pension after retirement. Often private pensions are also run by the employer and are called occupational pensions. The contributions into private pension schemes are usually tax-deductible. An Annuity purchased by an individual is one example but there are a variety of options offered by Wealth Managers, Insurance Companies and other financial institutions. Be careful selecting a company and agent when you decide to discuss your finances and retirement, there are a lot of sharks looking for a commission!

Share your knowledge, expertise, and skills with other professionals through the CWC network:
