Wednesday, 1 October, 2025
On this episode of The Bell Effect, we hear from Laura Whitlock, a former Executive Director of the Pioneers. Since departing the Pioneers, Laura 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.The Association of BellTel Retirees is dedicated to promoting the protection and enhancement of the pensions and benefits for all retirees and the current and future beneficiaries of the companies derived and evolving from the original Bell System.--You can find more information on our website: https://belltelretirees.org/You can donate to the cause here: https://fnblipayments.com/#/person/create/target/0J9YR7PQTKMMU61W/Send any questions to Association@BellTelRetirees.orgFind us on Social Media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/associationofbelltelretireesTwitter: https://twitter.com/belltelretireeLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/association-of-belltel-retirees
