Investing Strategy / Education for Feds

NARFE Federal Benefits Institute presents Investing Strategy / Education for Feds Thursday, February 19, 2026, 2:00 p.m. ET How do professionals decide where to invest their money? Many Federal Employees never expected to become portfolio managers, but with the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) now comprising a significant portion of their assets, that responsibility is now theirs. In this session, NARFE federal benefits expert Wes Battle, CFP®, ChFEBC℠, AIF®, RICP®, will explain the same investment management principles that professional advisors use to balance growth, manage risk, and generate reliable income—and how those strategies apply within the TSP, including the plan’s specific limitations and the new Roth conversion rule regarding non-Roth eligible funds. Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of both the opportunities and constraints that influence their long-term retirement income security. A Q&A session will follow the presentation. Please join Wes Battle and us on Thursday, February 19, at 2:00 p.m. ET to learn how to use your TSP as a tool for long-term financial security.

NARFE-PAC Leader Training

NARFE Federal Benefits Institute presents NARFE-PAC Leader Training Thursday, February 26, 2026, 2:00 p.m. ET Many NARFE-PAC officers and chapter leaders understand the importance of political engagement but are often looking for practical ways to strengthen their impact at the local level. Instead of approaching PAC activities as occasional tasks, this session will focus on how a proactive, year-round strategy can strengthen relationships with lawmakers, improve fundraising outcomes, and ensure NARFE’s voice is heard where it matters most. Taking a more intentional approach to PAC engagement can help chapters build stronger connections with members of Congress, create more effective events, and better align their efforts with NARFE’s advocacy priorities. Join NARFE’s Political and Legislative Affairs team for a practical discussion on how PAC officers can lead with confidence and maximize their effectiveness, including: The role of PAC officers in advancing NARFE’s mission Building and maintaining meaningful relationships with lawmakers and staff Planning and executing successful PAC events and meetings Strategies to engage and motivate chapter members Best practices for communicating the value of NARFE-PAC Coordinating with national priorities and campaign cycles Turning everyday interactions into advocacy opportunities Setting achievable goals for PAC Month and beyond A Q&A session will follow the presentation. Join us on February 26 for an interactive conversation designed to equip PAC officers with the tools, strategies, and confidence needed to lead successful political engagement efforts and make PAC Month a strong foundation for the year ahead.
