| TIAA and Fidelity Certified Financial Planners are on campus throughout the year to meet with participants. |
• If you are nearing retirement, they can explain the options available for drawing money and can help with related paperwork.
• If you're a relatively new employee or want to open an account, they can explain the investment choices and help you set up your retirement account.
• All other participants are encouraged to meet annually with TIAA or Fidelity to review your account and make any necessary changes. |
| Schedules and instructions for making an appointment are available on the HR website, and then click on "Programs and Events." |
| You also have access to free personal financial planning through SageView Advisory Group, a registered investment advisory firm.
