SCAEOP-R
We never get too old to learn. Our logo is "Retired . . . but still inspired." The SCAEOP-Retired organization was officially established in 1994. Prior to that year, we were a retiree group with SCAEOP. In order to make the membership attractive to retirees, a SCAEOP-R request to the Executive Board was approved for a reduced state conference registration fee enabling retirees to attend each annual conference. In addition, we were granted to have a SCAEOP-R liaison on the Executive Board.
