Mission Statement
The Macomb County Retirees Association (MCRA) is a non-profit organization created by and comprised of Macomb County Government retirees. MCRA is dedicated to being a proactive retiree advocate to the Macomb County government and to fostering the continuation of social relationships between its members.
Statement of Purpose
The Macomb County Retirees Association consists of dues-paying members and beneficiaries, including:
- Macomb County Government
- Macomb County Sheriff's Office
- Macomb County Road Commission
- Martha T. Berry Medical Care Facility
Per the Macomb County Charter, MCRA retains a seat on the Retirement Board. This board representative monitors activities affecting the retirement system and member benefits, including members' collective interests before the Macomb County Retirement Board and the Board of Commissioners.
Seven (7) Board Directors serve alternating three-year terms. The Board of Directors meets quarterly, on the second Wednesday during January, April, July, and October. Each September, an annual meeting is held at which the general membership elects members to serve the next term for the Directors whose terms are expiring. Each January, the Directors elect among themselves the officers of President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer to serve for the calendar year. The general membership is welcome to attend and participate in all meetings.
Member communication includes the distribution of the MCRA newsletter, published quarterly to keep members informed of activities and relevant news. An annual membership meeting takes place in the fall of each year, usually in September. Members are encouraged to attend and participate in a great lunch, the opportunity to socialize with retiree friends, and catch up on relevant County news.
