Please call Cindy Randolph in the Bureau of Retirement Calculations for further information or to register for a seminar. You may reach Ms. Randolph by email at cindy.randolph@dms.MyFlorida.com or by telephone at 850-414-7077 or toll free 888-738-2252. Reservations for the seminar should be made at least 30 days prior to the desired seminar date. If your reservation request is received less than 30 days in advance of the desired seminar date, you will be accommodated on a space available basis. Your agency may find it beneficial to have at least one representative from each of your personnel and payroll areas attend. There is no limit on the number of employees that you may send to training seminars. Please provide the names, telephone numbers, and email addresses of attendees so we can develop informational packets for each seminar. If we do not have enough participation for a specific seminar or we reach our capacity for attendance, we may need to contact your employees so an alternate seminar can be selected. |
