35 years ago, at the 1991 RA delegates passed an amendment to the NYSUT Constitution that provided prepaid retiree membership with full participation, voting rights and a more formalized structure --- the birth of retiree councils.

The 2026 NYSUT RA was in Albany May 1-3. 

Sara Rodland President of RC44 was awarded the Sandy Feldman  “ Not For Ourselves Alone” Award , at the 2026 RA.

A Grown - Up Book Fair Experience!

On April 20^th, the NYSUT Retirees of Western New York sponsored Books, Bites & Booze in conjunction with Merit Badge Books. It was at  NYSUT in  Williamsville. The selection of books was great as were the prizes & time being with friends in a less formal, relaxing setting.                                     

Because of NYSUT members' voluntary contributions to VOTE-COPE, these are just a few of the victories we've been able to achieve in the past couple years.  Please give consideration to increasing your VOTE - COPE donation.

The Spring NYSUT Regional Conference for RC’s 1, 2, 3 & 44 will be on May 19^th, at the Buffalo Niagara Marriott from 8:30 AM - 2:30 PM.
