Retired Teacher’s Director to visit local chapter

It has been announced that “Texas Retired Teachers Association (TRTA) Executive Director Tim Lee is making his way around the great state of Texas to speak at several local chapter meetings and district fall conferences.” One stop will be Queen City. Tuesday, September 10 in Queen City the local chapter of the TRTA will welcome the Executive Director of the local District 8. He will share the latest news for TRTA members and answer any questions that are of concern.

“As TRTA members prepare for the November General Election and 89th Legislative Session that begins in January 2025, many want to hear from Tim about what to expect and about TRTA’s key legislative priorities. If you have never had the opportunity to hear Tim Lee speak, you are in for an informative, energizing experience!

“If you are interested in attending one of the meetings listed below, please reach out to the chapter or district for more information. Click on the link associated with the chapter or district to find their website, Facebook page, or email address.

“ With more than twenty years representing the interests of dedicated retired school personnel in Texas, Tim offers valuable insights into relationship building with legislators, methods of communicating important political policies and goals, and facts about the Teacher Retirement System of Texas (TRS) pension trust fund that are helpful and compelling. He is also an expert on the work to repeal the federal Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and the Government Pension Offset (GPO).

“We encourage members to attend these sessions and bring a fellow TRS retiree who is not yet a TRTA member. “I love TRTA, and I want more people involved in our work and our mission,” said Lee when asked about the upcoming speaking schedule.”

Tim added, “at TRTA we often say that we have fun, work hard, and win big! Well, that’s who we are, and we want and need more TRS retirees to be involved in this amazing organization. Please come and be a part of this special fall schedule!”

“We are asking members to please renew their dues with TRTA if they have not done so already. If you know someone who is not a member, please invite them to join us! There is strength in numbers and the surest way for us to accomplish success is to grow the organization.”

The meeting will be held at the Queen City Methodist Church, 304 Marietta St, Queen City, TX 75572.
