MEMBERSHIP
Each state has a Retired Teachers Association. Our state organization is called the Kentucky Retired Teachers Association (KRTA). KRTA is composed of many local CHAPTERS. The Jefferson County Retired Teachers Association (JCRTA) is our local chapter of KRTA.
KRTA AND JCRTA are not affiliated with KEA or the JCTA union. JCRTA and KRTA allow BOTH teachers and administrators to join.
