DA Memo - January 24, 2005
(1) The ABCs of Being a DA
Many of you have asked for help and we listened. Beginning this March, KPERS will offer a new designated agent workshop, “The ABCs of Being a DA.” This workshop covers the basics for new designated agents and others of you who would like additional training that you can’t get in our regular workshops each fall.
This new workshop is designed as a half-day seminar ( 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. ) and does not replace our regular designated agent workshops.
Some Topics We’ll Cover
- Membership
- Purchasing service credit
- Reporting
- Retirement eligibility and procedures
Please bring your regular designated agent workshop manual with you. We will have handouts with examples. We will go through each process step by step and answer any questions you have.
Please Pre-register
Enclosed is a list of workshop locations and a registration form. You can also register by e-mail at kpers@kpers.org, or call our toll free number at (888) 275-5737.
