The Texas State
Retired Faculty and Staff Association began in the summer of 2006 when
an ad hoc group of about fifteen retirees met with several staff
personnel from University Advancement to explore ways to enhance the
relationship between retirees and the University. This group evolved
into an RFSA Organizing Committee which adopted a purpose statement,
launched this web site, and began to recruit members.
In April 2008, the organization, now 168
members, held its first annual business meeting,
adopted a Constitution,
and elected officers for the 2008-09 academic year.
The Retired Faculty and Staff
Association aspires to
- Represent
retired faculty and staff regarding University benefits and other
issues directly relevant to retirees;
- Serve
as a conduit for communication between the University and retired
faculty and staff;
- Maintain
and enhance the ongoing relationship between faculty and staff
throughout the retirement years;
- Promote
the participation of retired faculty and staff in University activities;
- Develop
and organize activities and events of special interest to retirees; and
- Identify
and support scholarships, lectures, and other special events of the
University.
All
Texas State retired faculty and staff or their surviving spouses are
elgible for membership, and retirees from other accredited colleges and
universities living in the San Marcos area are elgible for associate
membership. There are no dues; tax-deductible donations are accepted.
