In 2019 the New York State Retired Teachers’ Association, NYSRTA,  voted to change it’s name to the Retired Educators of New York (RENY) to better reflex our autonomous organization working with its primary focus on retired educators. It’s membership is open to all teachers, supervisors, counselors, administrators, teaching assistants, non-certified staff in educational institutions and their spouses. This fifty-year-old organization with ten zones statewide with the Central Western Zone includes ten counties: Allegany, Livingston, Monroe, Ontario, Orleans, Seneca, Steuben, Wayne, Wyoming and Yates. The state organization publishes a quarterly newsletter, YORK STATE, which helps us stay current on legislation affecting our benefits and offers services and programs of interest.

The members of the State Retired Organizations would like to take this opportunity to invite you to become a member of our family of retired educators.

A Life Membership is recommended as a great bargain at $450. You may select annual renewal membership at the present rate of $30. We would love to have spouses join, also. It is important that they stay abreast of any new legislation that might affect their future benefits.

Please consider the advantages of joining today. You will automatically be enrolled in our local Central Western Zone, CWZ, at no extra cost. The CWZ has an annual luncheon meeting to provide opportunities for members to learn about pending legislation, hear interesting speakers on pertinent issues and visit with old friends and colleagues.

Each of the ten counties included in the CWZ meet locally and membership at a modest cost to cover postage for mailings and programs is charged. It is important to be an active member at all levels to insure health insurance benefits are protected and COLA benefits are increased.  As retired educators, we all belong to several service organizations and volunteer countless hours for many different charitable concerns.  RENY is one organization you can join for YOU!
