Amendment No. 3: Join the TRSL Webinar April 22 at 4PM
April 22, 2026
It was two decades after a small group of teachers with a vision and a mission gathered around first LRTA President Kate Perkins to support other teachers through advocacy and community that LRTA became an official nonprofit. And it was on November 4, 1974 that LRTA first opened its office doors, expanding the organization across the State of Louisiana. #celebrating70yearsoflrta
LRTA is celebrating 70 years this July!
It all started in Monroe, LA with first LRTA President Kate Perkins who lit the spark that became LRTA today. #celebrating70yearsoflrta
LRTA is celebrating 70 years of advocacy and fellowship this July 18!
Our mission has always been to make retirement years better for retired teachers across Louisiana and the country by being an advocate for our members and their families. It is not always easy, but it is the work and determination of thousands of our members who make LRTA a formidable force with the legislature. From the beginning days of our organization, “collective and collaboration” have been the cornerstone tenets leading to the success of our group.
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS MADE LRTA WHAT IT IS TODAY!
