Retired City Employees Association of Norfolk

Primary Goal Statement

The City of Norfolk needs to provide City Retirees the same purchasing power of their retired pay (Pension benefit) to which they were entitled to at the time of retirement and ensure it is not, at any time in the future, eroded by subsequent increases in consumer prices.

If you are receiving a retirement check, join the Retired City Employees Association of Norfolk on Facebook.

History

The Retired City Employees Association of Norfolk has an extensive history of service to its members. Records indicate the first official meeting of the Association was Sept. 28, 1973, at the YWCA on Freemason Street in downtown Norfolk.

There were 22 retirees in attendance at this meeting. Officers were elected, and by-laws were subsequently approved. The location for the meetings has changed; however, the Association has continued to meet monthly. View meeting information.
