TRTA Legislative Updates

TRTA is the largest organization of its kind in Texas or in the United States that represents solely the interests of retired public school employees. With 20 districts, 257 local units, and 62,000 retired public education employee members, TRTA is respected as the voice for Texas education retirees.

TRTA uses a true grassroots legislative approach. The most critical components in the association's legislative activities are the hundreds and thousands of dedicated local unit volunteers that regularly communicate with their legislative leaders. TRTA's legislative success is due in large part to the volunteers who take time to educate these elected officials on the issues impacting retired educators.

TRTA also utilizes a professional legislative staff comprised of the association's executive director, a professional lobbyist, and two volunteer legislative coordinators. This group is known as the TRTA Capitol Legislative Team.

Your help with passing the issues important to TRTA is greatly appreciated.
