Our strength comes from our members—more than 60,000 retirees who once served North Carolina in classrooms, city halls, county offices, and public safety departments. They are neighbors, mentors, volunteers, and advocates who continue to shape their communities long after their official careers have ended. Whether attending local RGEA events, supporting fellow retirees, or speaking up for issues that matter, our members demonstrate that retirement is not an ending, but another chapter of service and connection.
