Retired Members Committee

The Retired Members Committee establishes opportunities for retired members to address and pursue issues of common concern. It creates avenues to safeguard and strengthen retirement benefits and makes recommendations to the association on such issues. The committee provides forums for information sharing, establishes involvement in the election of pro-education candidates to public office and lobbies for educational measures in support of public education. It coordinates communications with Retired District Delegates and retired members.
