Board of Directors

The RSEA constitution provides that the association is governed by a board of directors, a representative sampling of the retiree population of the state. Composing the board are its officers, the presidents of the nine local chapters, at-large statewide members, directors emeritus and ex-officio members representing LASERS and the Office of Group Benefits which administers the state's health insurance program.

Several of our board members who contributed much to RSEA are deceased. Click here to view our new memorial page
