The AFT Washington Retiree Chapter, Local 8045R, is an affiliate of AFT Washington and the American Federation of Teachers. It was established for the benefit of retired members of AFT Washington, to foster the social, political, educational, cultural, and civic pursuits of retirees. It functions as an active arm of AFT Washington, with a seat on the Executive Board, and has a relationship with the National organization. It is also intended to champion a united voice for AFT Retirees in the state of Washington, and to disseminate information of interest to our members.
The chapter has no dues. At this time, you are eligible to be a member if you are a retired member of AFT Washington or any of its affiliates, including AFT, WFT, or WSFT, or are a spouse of an AFT Washington, AFT, WFT, or WSFT member.
You can find the National Retiree Chapter website here.
Our next meeting is the quarterly Executive Board meeting, to be scheduled for mid-October.
All retirees are invited to the meeting! If you have questions contact Merrilee Miron at Merrilee.miron@gmail.com or Cortney Marabetta at cmarabetta@aftwa.org.
