Becoming a member of the association affords an opportunity to keep in touch with the University, to meet and socialize with valued colleagues, to attend outstanding presentations, and to work with colleagues to enhance and maintain the benefits of retired faculty.  Needless to say, the association encourages members to actively contribute to the life of the University and be active members of other organizations dedicated to enriching the life of retired members of the University community.   The RFA is a member of the Ohio Council of Higher Education Retirees (OCHER), an organization of all state university retiree associations in the State of Ohio.
