Enrollment and Re-Enrollment Seminar requests Enrollment and Re-Enrollment Educational Seminars And Kit Orders We would like some feedback on this from you…. But I would first like to have the opportunity to speak to the thought behind this process becoming part of what you do during the installation PS III our Installation team is responsible for notifying our education services as they are in close contact with the plan sponsor and the broker With the PS Adv. You will be coordinating all the installation/conversion processes with the PS and broker. The idea behind this module is to provide you while you are working with the PS and broker to request enrollment meetings. Once your request is logged in TRS will take over and do all the heavy lifting.
