Member Benefits
GCREA Executive Committee Members celebrating the service of Judy Perkins, Past President of NJREA.
Donate to PAC
PAC Update
PAC Update
GCREA collects funds for PAC throughout the year to protect the amounts of pension and health benefits which are periodically up for negotiations.
My sincere thanks to everyone who voted. We elected a number of pro-education folks. Why does that matter? And why
should you care?
In New Jersey, we have a current Governor who has made consecutive FULL pension payments! In New Jersey, the elected Governor has the power of the line item veto which could put your pension and health benefits at risk. When you vote- vote for your own self-interests.
That is why a PAC donation is an easy way to protect what we already have. Please make your check out to NJEA PAC and send it to NJEA PAC, c/o WSFS, PO Box 13661, Philadelphia, PA 19101-3661. Include your name and address and the county from which you retired. Or click here to donate online.
Thank you.
