This year we celebrated 80 years of CalRTA!

Governor Browns 12 point Pension Reform Plan to fix the retirement system was passed. Manditory inclusion in Social Security for new educators was considered but not included in the plan.

There are now over 800,000 members in CalSTRS

“The electronic age has changed the way we live and do business. We can effectively develop policies and plans to focus our efforts on what members need today and in the future.” Joe Dion

“Committees should move from isolation to working within the scope of other committees. CalRTA is not one person, one committee or one division!”

Term limits were adopted for Area Directors.

Membership dues was increased from $42 to $45 per year.

Major Issues were branding, having more effective meetings, updating the website and leadership development.
