Programming events are one of the greatest strengths of our chapter, and they are at the heart of what the ASPPA Benefits Council (ABC) of Greater Cincinnati represents, which is to benefit the community served. We maintain a full calendar of events throughout the year, which not only informs our members when new developments are taking shape but also helps to identify any overall trends within the retirement plan industry. 

ABC of Greater Cincinnati also provides continuing education credits for those Members that are certified professionals and who are looking for additional CPE—just click on any of the program links to find registration information. If you have any questions regarding future programs, suggestions for topics, or if you would be interested in presenting at one of our future events, please contact us via email.
