Clayton State Retirees Association

The Clayton State Retirees Association (CSRA) was organized in October 2002 as the result of efforts by a small group of retirees who recognized the need for an organization that would facilitate communication between the University and its retirees. Its mission was intended to represent the interests and welfare of retirees and to give retirees impetus and means for staying in contact with former colleagues.

Since its inception, the association has acted as a vehicle of communication between retirees and the Department of Human Resources (HR) in efforts to streamline procedures involving retirees, to ensure that retirees receive pertinent privileges given to current employees, and to inform retirees of changes in benefits and privileges. In representing the interests and welfare of retirees, the CSRA is proactive in following matters related to retirees and in keeping retirees informed. This is accomplished by disseminating information to its members via meetings, newsletters, and emails. By keeping all members informed of pertinent issues affecting retirees and receiving feedback from its members, the CSRA is able to respond to issues and hopefully exert influence on policy makers.

Retirees may choose to donate to one of five funds:

• CSRA Butterfly Garden
• CSRA New Retiree Brunch
• CSRA Operating
• CSRA Scholarship
• CSRA Teaching & Learning Innovations Grant
