Retirement is often seen as a time to sit back and relax, but it can also be a time to continue learning and growing in your profession. One way to do this is by remaining active in a professional organization after retiring. There are many benefits to doing so, both for the retiree and for the organization.
With this in mind WAFLT has started a new Retiree Committee. For a WAFLT retiree, remaining active in a professional organization can provide a sense of purpose and community. Many retirees find themselves feeling isolated after leaving the workforce, but being part of a professional organization can help combat this. It can also provide opportunities for continued learning and development, as well as networking with other professionals in your field.
In addition to the benefits for the retiree, remaining active in a professional organization can also be beneficial for the organization itself. Retirees bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table, and can serve as valuable mentors and resources for younger professionals. They can also help to keep the organization relevant and up-to-date with current industry trends and practices.
So if you’re considering retirement, don’t overlook the benefits of staying involved in the WAFLT organization. Consider being a part of FLESFEST, POWER HOUR, or NELL. We need you!!!!!
