President's Corner
As I reflect on the mission of the Prince George’s Public Schools Retirees Association, I am truly honored to serve as your president for the upcoming year. The principles of the PGPSRA will be upheld by ongoing efforts towards the following objectives: |
- Encourage members to continue their interest in and use their talents, training and experience in furthering the educational, social and civic growth of the community, the state and the Nation.
- Keep abreast of current educational programs, as well as legislative and educational developments affecting public education.
- Contribute financial aid to a scholarship fund which assists students in obtaining higher education.
- Afford opportunities for united action in problem solving, as it relates to current challenges in education and other persons directly concerned with the educational problems of the County.
- Cooperate with the Maryland Retired School Personnel Association.
One of my major goals this year is to increase our membership. At this time, MRSPA’s total membership is 14,700 members. Each local organization has been challenged to recruit, retain, and regain members with at least a 2 percent or more net gain this year.
Our monthly meetings will resume with stimulating presentations on a variety of topics. Members will be informed about our growth from the various committees via ECHOES and other means. We will continue to receive information from local leadership on issues. Outings to theatres and other locales will provide an opportunity to grow both intellectually and socially. They will also provide an opportunity to forge new friendships, learn new things and visit interesting places.
To meet this challenge, we will welcome new faces, new ideas and volunteerism among retirees. Please join us as we work together for an exciting year!
“Let’s Work Together!”
Cordially,
MaryLouise J. Isbell, President,
Prince George's Public School Retirees Association
