Bill Book, Retirement Committee Chair
MESPA supports active and retired principals. This committee promotes stable retirement by: disseminating information on issues that impact retirement benefits; ensuring retirement benefits are included in salary and benefits negotiations; and monitoring and working cooperatively with other state employee groups, TRA, and the Legislature to improve benefits for active and retired MESPA members. If you have questions or concerns about retirement issues, contact this committee.
