ADVOCATING FOR YOUR INTERESTS

UWRA represents UW retiree interests on a wide range of important issues, whether they arise inside or outside the University. Your support makes this work possible.

At the University level, we partner with UW units and leadership to maintain and improve retirees’ access to privileges, including parking, libraries, technology, and more.

At the state level, we monitor proposed changes to retiree health insurance benefits and pensions, and advocate with the Public Employees Benefits Board, the Health Care Authority, and the state legislature on behalf of all UW retirees. UWRA is always working to ensure your concerns are heard and addressed.

KEEPING YOU CONNECTED

We are committed to helping UW retirees remain connected and engaged with one another and with the University. Member dues make it possible for us to offer a wide range of events and programs that specifically serve the interests and needs of UW retirees and older adults. Our members always enjoy priority registration and the best pricing for our wide range events, as well as exclusive access to our member-only events.

RETIREE RECOGNITION
