Dear Recipient:
While you are settling into the rhythm of a new school year, please take some time to make plans to attend the Annual Delegates Meeting on Sunday, Nov. 5—Monday, Nov. 6 at the Saratoga Springs City Center.
The agenda includes our traditional full slate of educational presentations about NYSTRS' benefits and our strength as a pension system, our popular Delegate-Board/Staff Discussion, and the election of a Teacher Board Member. Elizabeth A. Chetney, a teacher in the Baldwinsville Central School District, is the incumbent up for re-election this year to serve the 2024-2027 term.
A few reminders:
- Advance registration is required for the meeting. Watch your inbox in late October for an email containing the link to register.
