Many NEOEA-Retired members keep in touch with colleagues still working in the schools. Please inform your active but soon to be retired friends that OEA provides a one year membership to OEA-Retired at no charge. In order for the membership to be activated, OEA needs to know of the retirement event. Although a member’s retired status will be reported up by their local during the annual membership drive when school starts, members may notify OEA to convert their status by contacting the OEA Member Help Line and providing details regarding their last work day as an active member and their non-school e-mail address.
