Dear Colleagues:
As recent headlines attest, the Ontario government appears to be closing in on a new framework for university pension plans in this province. In order to develop an informed response to government proposals, faculty members need a full understanding of the potentially dramatic impact these government actions could have on their financial futures.
To this end, OCUFA has worked with industry experts to develop two educational webcasts and we ask that you actively participate in each of these online sessions. The sessions will be highly informative and interactive webcasts tailored to meet your information needs.
Space for these webcasts is limited, so you must sign up in advance. Select the time that works best for you for each of the webcasts and click on it to register online.
Once registered, you’ll receive an email with the information you need to access the webcast.
Registration for each session will remain open until all available spaces are booked or until 60 minutes before its starting time, whichever comes first.
Please pass this invitation along to your faculty association members. [And we apologize if you receive this notice more than once].
