FEA-Retired Innovative Grants Application

The FEA-Retired Innovate Grant recognizes and supports active HCTA-FEA members with $150 for projects that will enhance efficient and effective teaching and student learning. Don’t miss out on this opportunity! Contact HCTA for more information

 Our Goals 

  • Remain involved with issues in education and supporting ways to protect quality education.
  • Remain informed on retirement issues and benefits and find ways to help keep them.
  • Assist in lobbying efforts to improve pension and insurance coverage.
  • Provide Speakers on educational topics and activities for our members.
  • Continue fellowship and communication between active and retired educators.

 

Our Meetings 

Regular meetings are held at the HCTA building on the 3rd Wednesday of the month at 10:00 am, August through May. Come early for coffee and refreshments and join us at a nearby restaurant after the meeting. We have a fall picnic at a local park, a holiday luncheon in December, and a community outing in March. Each May we host a potluck to honor the HCTA staff.

Guest speakers inspire, educate, and entertain us. Past speakers include a Coast Guard Auxiliary hurricane scientist, a sheriff’s deputy “scam” investigator, an estate lawyer, a journalist/storyteller, and the coordinator from Gibsonton Community School.

HEA-Retired takes a summer break but keeps members informed with the newsletter. This summer we highlighted school board candidates endorsed by HCTA and encouraged members to renew their Vote by Mail application. You are welcome to join us at these scheduled meetings.
