Testimonials

"Don't miss out on the opportunity to join MARSP/TRTA! Last year, it was largely due to the efforts of TRTA that Prop 9 with the tiered COLA was passed. There are many important issues before us in the 2024-2025 year, including maintaining TRS’s actuarial soundness, repealing GPO and WEP and preserving our Defined Benefit Annuity Plan. Please join us as we let legislators and the TRS Board know what is needed to retain a secure retirement for all public education retirees. NO one else speaks exclusively for you except TRTA. Please add your voice to those of others across the state. Locally, join us at our 1st Thursday luncheons for food, fun and fellowship plus entertaining and informative speakers." Paula Knight, MARSP 1st Vice-President & Membership Chair MARSP

"TRTA is the ONLY voice for retired educators! MARSP is our local chapter, devoted to informing members of impending legislation which will directly impact their lives. MARSP provides current information on a variety of topics, offers fellowship and fun every month at Thursday luncheons, facilitates volunteer opportunities, and provides access to exclusive benefits on discount terms. By joining MARSP, you add your voice to the other 94,000 TRTA members and increase the strength of those voices and enhance our ability to protect our retirement fund and to provide increases in our annuities." Maridell Fryar, Past-President of TRTA & MARSP
