FCRE Government Relations Team
The Government Relations Team (GRT) is a group of retired educators who are interested in speaking on behalf of all of Virginia's retired education employees. The GRT consists of members of FCRE and FEA-R working together to support and speak for the issues that we determine to be most critical in the upcoming 2012 General Assembly Session.
In October, the GRT will meet to begin looking at the Position Statement we put together for last year's General Assembly. From there, we will move on to consider the economic condition of the state and of the country in general. We will make a very strong statement for not cutting education and the Virginia Retirement System.
Meeting dates (10:00 a.m. at the FEA Office):
Wednesday, October 26, 2011
Thursday, November 10, 2011
Thursday, December 15, 2011
