About AEA Retired
Arizona Education Association-Retired is a statewide local affiliate of AEA.
We hold a seat on the AEA Board of Directors.
​
We have seven local chapters and over 2100 members throughout the state of Arizona. I hope to see you soon at one of the many local or statewide meetings.
​
You and I joined AEA because we knew the value of collective impact in helping us to create the best learning environments for Arizona students.
​
When you retired, you did not leave that work behind. Come find out how AEA-Retired can help you to continue
to support the work of ensuring a quality education for each student in Arizona.
Throughout our careers, we paid a high price to ensure that we'd have a strong pension to last us through our retired years. Now, we need to continue our membership and support for our professional organization in order to protect our pensions.
I look forward to talking with you soon, or seeing you at a local or statewide meeting.
​
See you there!
