About this event:

Thoughtful Retirement: Envisioning and Realizing an Intentional Future

Individuals living in Tompkins County, who are either close to retirement or have already retired, are invited to join us for a discussion on how to identify and achieve your non-financial retirement goals, including examining your personal values as they relate to retirement, identifying and re-purposing existing skill sets for post-retirement work, and developing a flexible plan that will meet your changing needs and interests, while also being responsive to changing life events.
