Historical NoteReturn to Top

The University of Washington Retirement Association is a private organization composed primarily of former faculty and staff employees who have retired from the University, and their spouses. The Association takes an active part in social and intellectual affairs of the University and in providing special services to elderly persons, and maintains a close watch on prospective changes in the University's retirement compensation plans. The University, in turn, maintains a close relationship to the Association in providing a Director for the Retirement Center. This Director assists retirees and those planning to retire by overseeing the work of 26 standing committees for the Association. The Association also maintains a library at the Retirement Center for use by its members and combines its efforts with other organizations of retirees to monitor and lobby in the interests of retired persons.
