Events and workshops

We teach in rooms, not just on pages.

TradeWinds runs educational sessions through the year, most of them on federal retirement benefits. They are training rather than presentations, and nothing is sold at them.

Coming up

Dates for the next sessions are being confirmed.

The federal retirement benefits workshop runs quarterly in Portland and fills ahead of time. Rather than list a date we cannot yet guarantee, we take requests and confirm you into the next session that fits your timeline.

Prefer to ask a person? Call (503) 673-2828.

The federal workshop

A full session on your benefits, at no cost.

The FERS annuity, the Thrift Savings Plan, survivor elections, insurance continuation, and how the pieces interact. Seats are limited and worth most to people five to fifteen years from retirement.

Not the right timing?

If you are within a few months of retirement, or you already know your benefits well, a thirty-minute consult will get you a real answer sooner than the next session will.

TradeWinds is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or approved by any federal agency, the Office of Personnel Management, or the Thrift Savings Plan. Workshops are educational and no products are sold at them.
