Social Security plays a critical role in retirement planning. In fact, for many Americans, it represents one of the largest sources of retirement income. However, the rules are complex, and the timing of your decision can permanently affect your lifetime benefits.
Should you claim at 62, wait until full retirement age, or delay until 70?
How do spousal and survivor benefits work?
How does Social Security coordinate with pensions, retirement accounts, and other income sources?
Advanced planning and informed decision-making can make a meaningful difference.
In this free live educational webinar, we will cover:
• How Social Security benefits are calculated
• How claiming age impacts monthly and lifetime income
• The role of spousal and survivor benefits
• How Social Security helps address longevity and inflation concerns
• How benefits coordinate with other retirement income sources
• Key claiming considerations before filing
Whether you are single, married, divorced, or widowed, this session is designed to provide clear, practical education so you can better understand your options and make informed decisions.
This is an educational presentation — NOT a sales event. There is no cost to attend, and the session is open to the public.
Attendees will have the opportunity to submit questions during the live webinar.

NU Speaker Series: Productivity Begins at the End
2026-04-22 16:00 - 17:00 | https://nu.zoom.us/webinar/register/8817719778332/WN_kKgReYoSS0yBRGz6vaXY6Q#/registration
Most professionals begin their day in reaction mode. The laptop opens, email floods in, the calendar takes over, and within minutes, the day feels like it belongs to everyone else. But what if your morning isn’t determined at 8:00 a.m.? What if it’s decided at 4:45 p.m. the day before? In this engaging and practical webinar, you’ll discover why productivity is built on preparation rather than motivation. Instead of relying on willpower or hoping tomorrow will feel different, you’ll learn a deliberate shutdown sequence that reduces mental clutter, protects focus, and strengthens follow-through. When you close your day with intention, you give your future self clarity instead of chaos. If your mornings feel rushed, scattered, or dictated by inbox demands, this session will help you reset your approach. Walk away with a simple, repeatable end-of-day practice that helps you start strong, think clearly, and lead your day rather than react to it.
