Who spends three days in August in Evanston, Illinois, in the purple surroundings of Northwestern University? Julie Sweitzer, Kris Mortensen, and Jan Morlock, did, representing UMRA at the 2022 Big Ten Retirees Association (BTRA) conference. We learned how the different groups operate and how they connect to their universities.
BTRA meets annually, and next year’s conference will be at the University of Wisconsin in Madison.
UMRA is set to host the 2026 event, and our planning is already underway. We’ll want to show off our organization, our university, and our campus, so start thinking about how best to do that.
