News & Updates

After years of dedicated work by retirees across all five boroughs and beyond, the DC37 Retirees Association Constitution has been officially approved by the membership. This is a historic milestone — a foundation for a stronger, more democratic, and more accountable organization.

The United DC37 Retirees Slate was proud to be part of the Governance Committee that helped craft this Constitution. We believe it represents the voices, priorities, and power of our members.

With the Constitution now in place, the path to ending the administratorship is clear. The upcoming election is your opportunity to choose leaders who will honor this Constitution and build the Association you deserve.

On May 27, 2026, Association members approved an amended constitution. For more information, go to www.dc37retirees.org/amend. The revised constitution calls for the nominations to be held in June of 2026 for a term of three years. Nominations will be held on Wednesday, June 24, 2026, at 1:00 PM EST for the following offices:

• President
• Executive Vice President
• Secretary-Treasurer
• Recording Secretary
• Associate Secretary-Treasurer
