Mission Statement

Founded in the Spring of 2011 with the support of UM President Royce C. Engstrom, The University of Montana-Missoula Retirees’ Association aims to provide all faculty and staff retirees the opportunity to remain actively engaged with the University community. The Association creates a structure designed to bring retirees together and to facilitate their activities.

Anticipated benefits include:

• increased interaction between retirees, 
• the establishment of a retiree database, 
• planned social occasions such as luncheons, lecture series and excursions, 
• a venue to inform retirees of events and developments at the University, 
• a mechanism to assist volunteerism and service to the University and the community, 
• the formation of retiree interest groups, 
• a clarification and enhancement of retiree benefits,
• plus the regular Retiree and Lifetime Retiree benefits!

The Association wishes to support the involvement of retirees as dynamic participants in campus life and learning.
