LRTA Announces 2020-2022 Executive Committee
November 5, 2020Three Reasons Why Public Pensions are Cheaper Than Other Retirement Plans Like 401(k)s
November 19, 2020In 2014, LRTA launched the Unit Excellence Challenge. The purpose was to challenge local units of retired teachers to strive for excellence in their programs and activities, to engage their current members and recruit new ones, to participate at the district and state level, and to use the resources provided by the state office in striving to make retirement years great. The current pandemic presented extra challenges to our Units. Despite this, some Units were able to complete the activities outlined in the challenge either remotely or before the pandemic began. LRTA recognizes that many Units could not complete some of portions of the Unit Challenge, especially when LRTA decided to cancel the Spring and Fall Meetings for the safety and health of the membership. LRTA asked Units to submit the Unit Challenge forms completed to the best of their ability so we may recognize them as accepting the Unit Challenge for 2020.
Congratulations to the 2020 Unit Challenge Winners!
