ATLANTA, June 25, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The LOMA Secure Retirement Institute™ today announced the recent launch of Successful Retirement Outcomes (SRI 210), an online course which focuses on the increasingly significant topic of retirement income. 

With the number of retirees projected to grow to 64 million by 2025, and the number of pre-retirees (age 55+) projected to increase to 45 million by just 2020, financial services companies need to be positioned to help these individuals create the retirement income they will need to enjoy a secure retirement.
