Taking place Friday, April 12th, and Saturday the 13th, TRTA Member Linda McCrary, who represents Tennessee on the NEA Board, provided an update to the TEA delegates Saturday morning in Murfreesboro.
TRTA Past-President (and former TEA President) Judy Whitehill and current TRTA President Bill Murray share a laugh on Friday evening before the TEA Rep Assembly.
Bill worked the credentials table and served as a voting delegate along with President-Elect Dewayne Emert. Judy worked the TRTA recruiting table and signed up 5 new members!
L to R - Executive Director Williams, Presidents Whitehill, Murray, and Emert represented our 9,000 TRTA members at the TEA Representative Assembly in Murfreesboro on April 12th and 13th.
TRTA members should call the UNR number if there has been a mix up on their billing due to the error. UMR staff will work to correct the error.

Recently, it has come to our attention that Retirees with POMCO have had UMR marked (with Medicare) as their primary insurance and Medicare as their secondary insurance. We understand this error occurred in the switchover from POMCO.
If this has happened to you, you may do the following:
In some cases, as our members have had doctor’s appointments, they have been told that their secondary insurance is shown as their primary instead of Medicare, which should be their primary.
We would like to thank Linda McCray, Macon Co. RTA, who serves on the NEA Board of Directors Retired, for bringing this important update to our attention! Thank you Linda!
A Healthy and Happy 2024 to all our TRTA Members!
Statewide membership is off to a strong start for the 2023-2024 year for TRTA with 57 of our local chapters being “up or even” in membership for the year! Another 15 of our local chapters are only down one member from last year. There is still plenty of time to add new members to your local chapter.
Please remember that membership recruitment is an ongoing year-long process. The primary reason given by retired teachers who have not joined the Tennessee Retired Teachers’ Association is “No one asked me to join.” Most potential members join TRTA to belong to the local chapter in their county/city. Our chapters are so active at the local level, and you provide many community service and social engagement events that our retired members can take part in – if they become a member. They really do join our organization because you, as a former respected colleague, ask them to join. Please continue to invite every retired teacher in your system to your next meeting or luncheon. Set as your association's goal that “Each One Asks One.”
Thank you for your continued support of public education and for your work as a local and/or statewide leader!
Dr. Duran Williams
