Welcome UTLA Members to my blog.
My name is Steve Schullo* and I have been writing articles about maximizing your experience with investing using the district’s 457(b) award winning plan. Stop buying annuities has been my mantra for over two decades when I was teaching in LAUSD. Please join us for the next UTLA investment workshop to find out how.

Hopefully, I’ll meet you in couple of weeks, Saturday 8:00-12:30 April 16 at UTLA headquarters.
Regards,
Steve

Dr. Schullo,
I’m very interested in attending your UTLA investment workshop. However, I’m participating in a LAUSD fellowship and am unable to attend. Are there plans to add another workshop in the future? If not, is there any way I can get a hold of the information that will be shared?
Thank you!
Hi Noemi,

Unfortunately the primary presenter will be handing out the other book to those at the workshop. The next workshop will be in November.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Steve
