Some local associations or friends of the retiree purchase memberships for retiring NJEA members. Gifting an NJREA membership is a huge thing! Local associations can do this to honor their retiring staff instead of giving them a plaque or clock. Children, grandchildren, friends can “gift” a membership for a relative, a colleague, a retired educator—especially for an elderly retiree on a fixed income who doesn’t really need another sweater or flannel shirt.
For more details about this opportunity, and payment information, call the NJEA Membership Division at 609-599-4594, ext. 4123.
