Message from the President

I am in awe of those who have preceded me at this position.  I fully recognize their deep commitment and genuine concern for the members of our organization.  My hope is to continue working on behalf of those who have given so much to the young people of our state.

I do have a few ideas that may benefit our organization.  However, I want to be clear that it is your organization, and my intent is to serve you to the best of my ability.  With that understanding, I want you to know that I am always open to suggestions from the membership.

I’ve been called to serve during a period when those retiring are not as interested in joining and that presents a serious challenge for leadership.  It is also one of the most rewarding times.  We listened to the membership, and the result was the HUBS meetings which benefited our finances while taking our meetings to areas closer to the membership.

Our challenge is to ensure that WVARSE remains a positive and beneficial opportunity for as many retirees as possible.

Keep in contact with your legislators!

 

Ask them to support our pension bill for those retired 20+ years by giving $2/mo for a year of service!

Contact your Delegates and Senators and share our goals with them. Contact members of the Finance and Pensions Committees and ask them to support our bills in committee.
