REASONS TO JOIN US –

  • For too many years, issues affecting retired school employees’ pensions & health benefits have been put on the “back burner” by politicians & legislative leaders. DSEA-R is an organization that has reversed that neglect.
  • In the past, retired school employees found it difficult to maintain ties with the schools – the institution to which they devoted years of effort & dedication. DSEA-R, as part of DSEA, provides the opportunity to keep in touch.
  • Even with the good planning, personal finances can change in retirement. DSEA-R & NEA-R members continue to qualify for discounts on life, auto, home AD&D, Medicare supplement, long-term care and homeowner’s insurance; books, magazine, car rentals; higher education loans; mutual funds, certificates of deposit, money market funds; credit cards, hearing aid products & other items (www.neamb.com).
  • After devoting so much to education, it’s hard to go without news of what’s happening today in the schools. Membership in DSEA-R brings regular accounts of trends, issues and developments in public education through publications such as NEA Today, DSEA Action, DSEA-Retired News and NEA-Retired’s This Active Life.
  • Success in improving the lives of school employees can only come through an organization that has the resources, expertise & clout to work effectively with the legislature, the Pension Board, & others who affect your livelihood. Through its affiliation with DSEA, DSEA-R is the only retired school employee organization in Delaware that meets these criteria – that has the track record & the tradition to do the job for you!
  • Retirees can maintain their active status by joining one of many DSEA-R committees, such as Membership, Activity, and Communications. Or, you can become very active by joining the Board of Directors. The committees & board have only one central purpose in mind – to strengthen the DSEA-R.
  • The relationships & friendships that you formed with colleagues when you were teaching are strengthened in retirement through DSEA-R. Plus, new friendships are formed.
