Williams Chair, Membership/Recruitment Committee The Membership/Recruitment Committee is pleased to announce that our recruitment goal for 2013 is 800 new retired members and 200 active, i.e. still working members. In 2012, we recruited nearly 100 active and over 400 retired members from various Los Angeles County departments. In the March/April edition of RELAC's Newsletter, I wrote about attending the January 23, 2013 LA County Management Council's Seminar on Financial Planning for Retirement. From among the 90 attendees at the seminar, we are pleased to announce that 6 new active employees joined RELAC. During the remainder of 2013, our committee will continue to recruit acrive members from all Los Angeles County departments, with our main emphasis on recruiting retired members. We do want to attract active members, not just those employees close to retirement, but also younger LA County employees because of the excellent benefits of membership that RELAC offers. For prospective active and retired members, RELAC's social and recreational progrmas, luncheons around the County and in Las Vegas, coupled with our group discounted supplemental insurance benefits make joining RELAC an absolute must! Therefore, we are asking both active and retired RELAC members to tell your friends about us and encourage them to join. Joining RELAC is easy. You'll find an application at our website, www.relac.org or call our office at (800) 537-3522 to request that an application be mailed to you.
