Community Events

Welcome to our Calendar of Events. We’re excited to offer a variety of opportunities for you to learn more about the GET Program. The Calendar of Events provides a list of scheduled events and meetings where GET staff will be available to talk with you about how GET works, how its value is guaranteed, and how families of young children can afford college in future years. Events will be added throughout the year.

• Webinars, Tutorials and Videos: Webinars, Tutorials and Videos on basic topics and FAQs such as Learning about GET, Using Your Units, and Opening an Account are available in the Webinars & Media section on the GET Web site (Home Page).

• Exhibits/Trade Shows or Conferences: We frequently host a booth at community events, trade shows, conferences, parent, children or family events and fairs. Check the calendar below for our next location and stop by and see us. A GET Representative is on hand with answers to your questions and has information you can take home.

• Seminars/ On-site Meetings: Would you like to have a GET Representative at your next PTA meeting, worksite or community event? We can schedule a "GET-Together" - a FREE informational meeting that explains how the Program works, how it compares to other savings methods, and provides insight on the benefits of starting a college savings plan early. A GET Representative will facilitate a short presentation and then spend time addressing your specific questions. This can be offered in two formats:

  • Lunch and Learn: Eat your lunch or snack while learning about GET. A GET Representative will facilitate a short, informal presentation and Q&A where and when it's most convenient for you and your group. What a great way to help employees, friends and family learn about an important topic!
  • Open House: A GET Representative can come to your worksite and meet with employees one-on-one. This is typically arranged in a conference room or an easily accessible area, which would be open to employees needing information during 1-2 hours. This is especially helpful if there are lots of individual questions and if it's difficult to bring all of your staff together at one time.
