A Health Care Trust, with Rocky Haines
3w ago01:19:17Tap to summarizeIn my opinion, the most important PFFA Pod to date. TVFR's long time President, Rocky Haines, joins Kyle, Hutch, and Travis to talk about Health Care Trusts. If you ever wondered what it would be like for Portland Fire to get our own Trust, listen to him talk about how it has worked for our neighbors.
Transcribe →Suicide in our Fire Service
4w ago01:10:00Tap to summarizeThis is a hard one to describe. It was a round table discussion of sorts, with Tara Stein, Matt Coffey, John Harrell, Bozeb Beckwith and Kyle MacLowry. All with unique expertise and interest in fire service behavioral health, and how we can help one another. We start close to home talking about Bob Stere and then zoom out in an attempt to generalize some of the challenges faced by some fire fighters.

Transcribe →The Value of Sick Leave
Feb 200:55:24Tap to summarizeWhat is the value of our SL benefit? We all know it accrues slower than VL and that the retirement payout is a variable percentage of final salary. However, there is more to it than that and members have a variety of thoughts about using vs saving this leave. It is an interesting topic to kick around the table, we hope you find something of value in the discussion.

Nov 2501:01:53Tap to summarizeInspired by Matt Fullerton, Kyle and Matt sit down with VOYA experts Greyson Stefani and Dan Gregory.

Whether it is for deferred comp, either of our pension programs, investing goals and planing, or anything thing money related, VOYA is a great resource. This may the first of a two or three part series, but the hope is to help members be more knowledgable and engaged in managing their finances.
