ASU Retiree's Association
Learn more about your impact
The ASURA Membership and Operations Fund supports the association's non-personnel expenses involved with maintaining records, communications and its office. The association has no personnel expenses, as it is all volunteer! Because of you, it can continue programs for and by retired university personnel, including advocacy, education, social events and community-service projects.
Membership in the ASU Retirees Association has the most important effect of increasing our organization's negotiating power as we advocate for retirees with the University, the Legislature, The Arizona State Retirement System and health insurance groups. There are great social and educational benefits too, because there are opportunities to join with fellow retirees at social and travel events and to attend seminars focused on the interests of retirees. The membership fee to join is $30.
