District VI Retired Teacher Association
Last year was a very exciting year for me. Without a doubt, the highlights were the May Spring Leadership Conference, at that time I was installed as District 6 President and my attending the Presidents Leadership Conference in Austin. The back to back of these two events gave me an idea of the incredible job ahead.
As I enter my second year as President, I must applaud the work of the 18 local presidents, the district officers, the district members and the district past two presidents. I am grateful for the support that has been extended to me as we have partnered to work on increasing membership and working diligently with the legislative team.
Reflecting back on the past year, I had an opportunity to visit several units and participate in the installment of officers and share in discussions on “Connecting the Dots for TRTA’s Success”. We were privilege to have Mr. Tim Lee visit our units to cheer us on as we worked toward legislative issues, particularly affordable health care and a cost of living raise.
“Connecting the Dots for TRTA’s Success” sum up what we strive for at District VI.
We always aim to offer inspiration to help improve and elevate the lives of all retired teachers by encouraging volunteering and becoming involved in the community through a local TRTA unit.
Join us for our Fall Leadership Development Conference, October 9, 2019, 9 am to 2:00 pm, and the Spring Leadership Development Conference May 13, 2020, 9:00 am to 2:00 pm at Regional VI Education Service Center, Huntsville, Texas.
I encourage retirees to join me and together we can make an even bigger impact
and make life better for all.
Sincerely,
Johnie Walker
District VI President
