CSPERA is a statewide organization open to all retired public and school employees including both certificated and support personnel. The association was organized in 1950 to promote and protect the economic well-being and quality of life for all retired school employees. In 2007, the Board voted to expand membership to include all retired public employees who pay into PERA, including state, DOW, CDOT, corrections, judicial, parks, etc.

Our efforts in legislation, health issues, retirement seminars, membership workshops, leadership training, volunteerism and communications are geared toward maintaining a high standard of living for Colorado retirees.

The Colorado School and Public Employees Retirement Association was found in 1950 as a means of addressing the concerns of all retired school employees in Colorado. With expanded membership, our current mission is to promote the personal, social, educational interests and economic security of retired PERA employees.
