We are a warm, welcoming and inclusive Association. We like to think of ourselves as providing the “big tent” to our members. As a member, you will enjoy opportunities to connect with other members through events and interest groups, to stay engaged with UCLA, and to know that you are supporting the association's efforts to maintain or improve retiree benefits.
