Our organization keeps you in contact with retired teachers, teacher assistants and administrators from BH-BL, and provides information about things that directly have an impact on you as a retired educator:

• the REA supports a dedicated representative to the BH-BL Teachers Association, who keeps us posted with ongoing negotiations, what is new with the TA, as well as other matters of importance within the district;

• we also have representation on the district insurance committee, giving input in matters that affect our insurance coverage; and

• your REA sends representatives to NYSUT (RC10), who share concerning developments in education across the state and how they affect us.

We elect a slate of officers who serve a two-year term. Our executive committee meets 4-6 times per year, and each year hosts two luncheons/reunions for our members, in October and May.

We always look forward to hosting our luncheons, to continue the tradition of friendship and collegiality that marked our careers at BH-BL.
