“The Bell Effect” Podcast, Episode 37: How Retirees Can Band Together

How can telecom retirees band together to protect their hard-earned pensions and benefits? And how does a qualified charitable distribution work anyway?

Our latest episode of “The Bell Effect” podcast introduces you to Laura Whitlock, who has become an active and dynamic volunteer with the Association of BellTel Retirees, serving as a board director of our Association for the past two years and counting.

Laura speaks about the rich history of the Pioneers as well as why retirees in the telecommunications community may want to support the Association with a qualified charitable distribution — an action that benefits both the retiree and the organization.

These episodes can be heard via computer, iPad, your smartphone and on many smart TV sets on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
