Whether you're still in the classroom, leading your local school district or are a higher education professor, ORTA welcomes you to use us for unique resources. While retirement may be sometime away, you can always sign up to be a member at the state and local levels to begin to receive all the benefits and advocacy that our retirees do including supplemental vision and dental options (please see our "Partnerships" page), a presence at STRS on YOUR behalf, and more. 

​

Another perk of joining ORTA while still working, are the opportunities our chapters provide. Many chapters offer classroom grants (money for your classroom and special projects), continuing education scholarships and graduating senior scholarships.
