Certified Educator Program

The Hawaii DOE has partnered with National Benefit Services and local advisors to create the Certified Education Program. The purpose of the program is to provide information regarding Pension Benefits, Social Security Benefits, and Personal Savings, which will be utilized to meet retirement goals. For an overview of our program, please visit NTSA.online.

Each Certified Educator listed below is equipped to provide education on the three areas listed above, with a focus on personal savings in the form of 403(b) accounts. NBS will periodically be hosting virtual seminars which will be communicated by your benefits office.

If you are an administrator over a school site and would like to coordinate an in-person meeting, please reach out to NBS via HawaiiCE@nbsbenefits.com.
