An Invitation to NH’s Retired Educators

Welcome to the New Hampshire Retired Educators Association (NHREA) — your community of support, advocacy, and connection for life after the classroom.

What Is NHREA?
Founded in 1952, NHREA serves all retired school personnel — teachers, nurses, bus drivers, cafeteria workers, ESPs, custodians, administrators, and more. We’re proud to be the state affiliate of the National Retired Teachers Association (NRTA), which itself is part of AARP.

Did you know? NRTA was founded in 1947 by Ethel Percy Andrus to address the financial and healthcare needs of educators in retirement — and it became the foundation of AARP.

Why Join NHREA?
NHREA is dedicated to retired individuals age 50 and above. Unlike NEA-NH, which supports current educators, NHREA focuses exclusively on retirement issues, including:

• Social Security protections
• Medicare and prescription drug affordability
• Fraud prevention and senior safety
• Caregiving and housing needs

We are proudly nonpartisan. Neither NHREA nor AARP endorse political candidates or maintain PACs. We simply keep a vigilant eye on legislation impacting retired communities.

•  Advocacy for secure and improved retirement benefits
