How to Join REA
Congratulations on your retirement from City service. As you enter the new and hopefully fulfilling part of your life we hope you will continue your friendships and associations with fellow City employees. We welcome you to join with us as a member of REA.
REA plays a vital watchdog role in monitoring ongoing developments in public employee retirement provisions and advocating for the interests of its members. REA Representatives monitor activities affecting the San Diego City Employees’ Retirement System (SDCERS), frequently speak before the SDCERS’ Board and City Council on issues of interest to retirees, and meet regularly with the SDCERS CEO and staff and representatives of the Mayor’s Office to discuss protection of our benefits. Your support will help keep these efforts in effect.
