SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 403
WHEREAS, Members of the Texas Retired Teachers
Association are celebrating Texas Retired Teachers Week from
April 10 to 14, 2023; and
WHEREAS, Made up of more than 96,000 members, TRTA serves
as a resource and advocate for retired school personnel
throughout Texas and works diligently in behalf of current and
future public education retirees; through its support of a strong
teacher retirement system, the association promotes the
financial soundness of the pension and health care programs
serving former educators; and
WHEREAS, The association is also devoted to benefiting
communities across the state through volunteer initiatives, and
each year, TRTA members perform more than five million hours of
service, equivalent to a value of $151 million; many of these
endeavors are focused on schools, and members have further
encouraged reading and literacy among young Texans through their
contribution of more than 1,500,000 books to the Children's Book
Project, including 135,963 in the last year; and
WHEREAS, Deeply committed to supporting education and
educators, the Texas Retired Teachers Association has made a
positive and lasting difference in the Lone Star State, and the
members of this noteworthy organization are indeed deserving of
recognition for their efforts; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th
Legislature, hereby recognize April 10 to 14, 2023, as Texas
Retired Teachers Week and extend to all those associated with the
organization sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be
prepared for the Texas Retired Teachers Association as an
expression of high regard from the Texas Senate.
