Planning for retirement might be easier than planning for fall break
While most employees will be thinking about fall break during the early days of autumn, it’s also an important time to think about retirement. If the two topics, vacation and retirement, seem unrelated, think again. Both represent major milestones, require a significant cash outlay and are best enjoyed after following a well-researched and thought-out plan.
This fall, get inspired and join INPRS in using the change in seasons as a signal to review, reassess, and adjust your retirement plan. It’s your opportunity to get inspired by what’s possible for your future retirement when you take the time to plan.
The team at INPRS is ready to help members of every age and stage of working years. In fact, the sooner you get started planning for retirement, the better:
- We’re online and in-person offering presentations and webinars (https://bookwithinprs.timetap.com/#/ ) about INPRS’s retirement plans, money management, investing, and how to retire;
- We’ve launched an upgraded version of our myOrangeMoney tool – check out our video to see how it works, here https://bit.ly/m/INPRS;
- Our team has developed posters, desktop backgrounds, and other fun materials to help you get excited about planning a postcard-worthy retirement – get everything you need and more on our new resources page at bit.ly/retirementjourney.

INPRS Board of Trustees named Board of the Year by Institutional Investor
In September, The Indiana Public Retirement System’s Board of Trustees was named Investment Committee/Board of the Year at the fifth annual Allocator’s Choice Awards, presented by Institutional Investor.
INPRS’s nine-member Board sets employer contribution rates, decides investment asset allocations, provides actuarial valuations, and much more. Decisions affecting member benefits are approved by the Indiana General Assembly.

Making sense of managing income in retirement
Sure, you’ve got a good idea of how to manage your income now. But how will you handle the shift into managing your income in retirement?
The money you bring in during retirement is a different beast – and learning how to manage it so it lasts your lifetime is essential. That’s why INPRS has launched a new webinar designed to help you understand what’s unique about retirement income, how much you might need, how to close gaps in your potential income, and the options you have for your investment accounts in retirement.
Sign up for one of our upcoming webinars by visiting bookwithinprs.timetap.com. They’re offered live to INPRS members everywhere, making signing on easy. Plus, our presenting consultants have been certified by the International Foundation for Retirement Education to provide this licensed presentation, so you can be confident that you’re getting solid educational information, not a sales pitch.
We’re excited to have you join us at our next presentation. All INPRS members are welcome, not just those who can count the years to retirement on one hand. Solid retirement planning begins now – so book with INPRS today.
Request us by name, won't you?
Ever wish you could blink your eyes, wiggle your nose, and poof-INPRS would be at your office, providing a workshop or webinar that answers all your burning retirement plan questions?
No, it’s not a daydream reminiscent of a 1960’s favorite – it can be your reality.
While our offices are centrally located in downtown Indianapolis, our team of retirement consultants are stationed throughout the state of Indiana, living, working, and serving INPRS members like you each day. If you look close enough, you may spot them at your go-to grocery store!
But don’t hold your retirement questions for the produce aisle. Instead, send a note to your human resources team and let them know that you’d appreciate a workshop or webinar from INPRS. Our services are always free of charge, and we love getting to meet members, listen to their questions, and help them make sense of their retirement plans.
Ask your HR team to email INPRS to make their request for a workshop or webinar. We’re excited to meet you and your colleagues, so when our visit is set, spread the news! If you can’t wait, check out our video library, attend a webinar of your choosing, or book an individual appointment at bookwithinprs.timetap.com.

If anything looks off, give us a call and we'll look into it. The best time to make us aware is now, not when you're submitting your retirement application.
