RIPEA's 40th Anniversary in 2012 is a milestone, not only for RIPEA, but for you as well. Whether you were among the first members to join back in 1972 or you became a member recently, your support has helped RIPEA improve and secure retirement benefits for all PERF members. We can't thank you enough.

RIPEA has grown from a very small Association established in 1972 to an Association with 38,367 members at the end of 2011! The reason for this growth is simple – WE GET RESULTS!

RIPEA membership includes a full package of benefits including a suite of group insurance plans, legislative work on behalf of PERF retirees to protect your future pension benefits, a quarterly newsletter distributed solely to RIPEA members and much more.

You can pay your Active or Retiree Membership dues online using PayPal. It's easy and convenient and you'll be emailed a receipt for your payment.
