Background CSU-ERFA was founded in 1985 in response to threats and attempts to reduce or eliminate CSU retirees rights, privileges and benefits and to support activity of retired faculty as continuing members of the academic community. The organization has grown steadily and now has nearly 3000 members including some 300 living outside California. Retired staff members who are members of a campus organization affiliated with CSU-ERFA are eligible and welcome to join CSU-ERFA. Since its founding in 1985, CSU-ERFA has centered its activities on the protection and enhancement of retiree benefits. A few of its accomplishments include:
The Association publishes a newsletter, the Reporter, four times a year. This journal keeps members informed about pending legislation in the state legislature and Congress, as well as actions of public executive officers, the office of the CSU Chancellor, and the Board of Trustees that could affect member benefits, rights, or privileges. CSU-ERFA also sends its members a yearly pocket calendar that includes important addresses of CSU-ERFA officers, campus retiree organizations, and members of the PERS Administrative Board. Organization The State Council is the governing body of CSU-ERFA. It includes CSU-ERFA officers, executive committee members-at-large, delegates from campus affiliated organization, nine at-large delegates, chairs of CSU-ERFA's standing committees, and ex officio members. The State Council meets twice a year. The Executive Committee is comprised of the CSU-ERFA president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, past president, executive director, the editor of the Reporter, the CSU-ERFA webmaster, and four at-large members. In addition, CSU-ERFA currently has five standing committees, an archivist, and liaisons to the California Faculty Association and the CSU Academic Senate. The CSU-ERFA Constitution and By-laws are available online in pdf form. Administrative Staff The day-to-day operations of CSU-ERFA are carried out by a small paid staff consisting of our Executive Director, Office Manager, and Administrative Assistant who work out of the Retiree Center at Cal State Northridge.

CSU-ERFA Listserv CSU-ERFA recently established a "listserv" to rapidly inform members of important association information. A "listserv" is an automated email list.
