The Association was founded in 1951 and is the oldest organization in the state for retired educators. It was called the Massachusetts Retired Teachers’ Association at that time. In 1997 the name was changed to Retired Educators Association of Massachusetts (REAM). REAM is a statewide association with an office in Marlborough, MA. With 7 local chapters, REAM holds a statewide presence.
REAM helps protect pensions, offers great benefits and is a way to stay connected to fellow educators. We are the leading voice of retired educators advocating on behalf of retirees of the Massachusetts Teachers’ Retirement System (MTRS). REAM is a dynamic, fun organization with flexible volunteer opportunities and benefits for retired educators and school personnel.
Published bi-monthly and distributed via email, the REAM Connection keeps members informed of association activities and important legislation. Don't have an email? Not to worry; REAM also sends out a bi-annual newsletter via USPS.
