The Council of Retired Leaders will provide leadership on issues that affect current retirees and will eventually affect all ACSA members. Members of the council will seek continued participation, service, and inclusion in all aspects of ACSA’s governance and activities to provide institutional memory and expertise. The Council will actively work and advocate with other members of the Retirement Coalition to protect, enhance, clarify and advocate for the benefits of STRS and PERS. Council members will also monitor and recommend action on state and federal legislation that potentially affect retiree issues.
