CSPERA MAKES CHANGES IN MEMBERSHIP ELIGIBILITY

The new requirements for membership states:
Eligibility for membership in the association shall include all retired and active school, state and public employees and their spouses who fulfill their financial obligations, all PERA annuitants, as well as other individuals interested in education and public welfare.

As voted by members of the Board of Directors, the financial obligation of all active school, state and public employees shall be one-half of the dues payed by retirees. The dues amount for retirees is $24.00 and for active employees the amount is $12.00.

CSPERA encourages membership and urges all to become part of the association. We must be informed about the challenges we face and numbers mean a lot when facing those challenges.

Please contact the CSPERA office for further information. We can be reached at cspera@aps.k12.co.us or at 800.748.2846.
