Raleigh, NC – In honor of public servants and their service, North Carolina Retired Governmental Employees’ Association (NCRGEA) is excited to host a Celebration of Public Service Week, June 6-10, 2022, as a free virtual event open to the public.
The hybrid event programming is geared towards current retirees but will also include special sessions for governmental employees and those who have not yet retired. As part of the week-long slate of sessions, participants will have access to a variety of flexible learning and social activities that can be enjoyed online from any location. Topics will revolve around advocacy, NCRGEA benefits, local engagement with pre-retiree awareness, and public service. There will also be pre-session opportunities related to digital communications.
With multiple sessions offered each day on different topics and using different formats, attendees can choose to attend each day or drop in and out during the week at their own convenience. In addition, participants may choose to join sessions live or catch up later by watching recordings when it is more convenient.
