SUAA at SIUE Chapter Meeting
The fall meeting of the SIUE Chapter of the State Universities Annuitants Association (SUAA) was held on Monday, December 11th at 1:00 p.m., in the Mississippi/Illinois Room of the Morris University Center. This meeting was open to SIUE SUAA Chapter members and non-members alike. We asked those planning to attend to register for this event by the end of the day, Friday, December 8th.
Our guest speaker was Illinois State Representative Amy Elik, serving in her second term representing District 111. Representative Elik serves on a number of committees in the House, including two appropriations committees, and brings with her nearly thirty (30) years of experience as a certified public accountant and an auditor. She discussed her legislative initiatives in the upcoming 103rd General Assembly and priorities she hopes to see addressed in that session. Updates on topics of specific interest related to higher education and pensions/benefits for those in the SURS system were also provided.
The meeting ended by 2:00 p.m., to accommodate those wishing to attend the Chancellor's Winter Reception in the Meridian Ballroom afterward.
SUAA is your advocate for the funding of higher education and protection of your retirement benefits from your first contribution to SURS through your retirement years. We appreciate the continued support of our chapter members. If you are not currently a member, we encourage you to attend this meeting to learn more about SUAA and to consider joining SUAA. We need your interest and support so we can continue to be your strong and sustained advocate.
