ORTA has changed its name with the Secretary of State. As discussed and approved at the Fall ORTA board meeting, ORTA altered its name from the Ohio Retired Teachers Association to the Ohio Retirement for Teachers Association. We will still be known as ORTA. This change is an effort to be more inclusive with respect to active teachers. Active (contributing) teachers may join ORTA for $10 per year. We hope that this will help with membership and bring younger people into our organization.
