We are anyone fifty years or older who is connected to the New Mexico Educational Retirement System. Anyone who is drawing a pension or contributing to the Retirement Fund is eligible to become a member.

We were founded in 1942, as a voluntary non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for its members and to foster education at all levels for people of all ages, with approximately 20 colleagues to bond and stay current with the times. As we expanded, we tried to enhance the lives of the educational retirees. We have been instrumental in acquiring a COLA (Cost of Living) advocating for ad hoc increases in our pensions, passing amendment four to the New Mexico State Constitution, and health advocacy issues. We have consistently guarded our retirement fund so that it would be there for us throughout our lives as well as those of the future retirees. We were one of the thirteen sponsoring states for the establishment of NRTA in 1947. We are still closely affiliated with NRTA and serve as advocates for our New Mexico Retirees as well as nationally with NRTA. We have a Representative elected from our organization to both Retirement Board (ERB) and the New Mexico Retirees Health Care Authority (NMRHCA). Today we have approximately 6000 members and are growing and expanding services including a scholarship program for current educators.

The opportunity to have a dialog with your legislators about important issues affecting retirees is an example of your dues at work. In addition, members get access to highly sought-after benefits and merchant discounts. Your membership provides you with the opportunity to elect Medical Emergency Airlift Transportation, Resort Rentals, and Travel Opportunities. Benefits continue to be added as we are constantly evaluating programs for you, the retiree. Click Here to view NMAER Benefits.

Our dues are presently set at $30.00 per year for retirees, or you can get them deducted from your retirement check at $2.50 a month. Educational Employees still working in the Educational Field can elect to join as an Associate Member for $5.00 per year. Upon retirement, Associate Members can join as Full Members for $30.00 per year.
