Institutes that wish to avail themselves of this assistance will take part in a six step process.
  1. A short pre-visit by NRRO volunteer consultants.
  2. Participation of the superior, treasurer and retirement director in a two-three day workshop with NRRO staff and volunteer consultants.
  3. Request for planning funds, if needed.
  4. Development of a plan with assistance from NRRO consultants and staff
  5. Site visit by NRRO consultants to review plan and make recommendation regarding funds to assist with implementation of plan.
