SCROLL TO SEE AVAILABLE BENEFITS BELOW
The TRTA Member Benefits Committee seeks and recommends programs for items such as insurance, discounts, and tours to benefit members. The committee also collaborates with other standing and special committees as appropriate to further the mission of TRTA. In order to carry out the above tasks, the TRTA unit representatives solicit ideas from members concerning needs that can be met by TRTA. Service providers are contacted concerning these needs and, if interested, they provide a proposal for service. If approved by the Board as an endorsed provider, in some instances, formal agreements are made following consultation with the Association's legal advisors. As a result of this process, TRTA has developed one of the outstanding overall benefits programs in the United States. However, unless members know of these benefits and actively use them, the program fails.
In order to promote the use of these benefits, the committee and staff work closely with the TRTA Public Relations Committee, the Retirement Education Committee, Membership Committee and membership providers. Various informational networks are in place including The Voice, the TRTA web site, social media and member-based systems. Member-based systems include the TRTA conventions, convention exhibits, district presidents, district officers, district training sessions and conventions, and local and district benefits committees. Other techniques include participation in school in-service activities, retirement education programs, speakers at educational programs, etc.
Promotional materials under development from providers include benefits promotional fliers and brochures, video productions and advertising in appropriate newsletters and media.
