AROHE

Upcoming Retirement Organization Conferences

Two major conferences, one organized by the Association of Retirement Organizations in Higher Education (AROHE) and the other by the Big Ten Retirees Association (BTRA), will take place this year. The AROHE conference will be held in Florida and the BTRA conference will be hosted by UMRA on the UMN campus.

The AROHE conference invites all interested retirees and university faculty and staff to reimagine retirement. You are invited to register if interested at https://www.arohe.org/2026-Conference.

The BTRA is being hosted by UMRA this year. Leadership of retiree organizations around the US will convene to share competencies. Attendance is restricted.

Building community through shared writing

UMRA member Marilyn DeLong was one of three panelists who participated in a recent discussion and idea exchange on the value of shared writing groups as a means of community building, hosted by the national Association of Retirement Organizations in Higher Education.

Reimagining Retirement: Holistic Cognitive Health

The Association of Retirement Organizations in Higher Education, of which UMRA is a member, is offering a three-part series of free webinars exploring the cognitive side of retirement. The series is designed to help attendees clarify their goals and embrace the changes that occur during life’s next chapter.
