Senate Resolution No. 330 commemorates Texas Retired Teachers Association Day at the State Capitol on March 26, 2025, and honors Tim Lee, the executive director of the Texas Retired Teachers Association (TRTA), for his 21 years of service and collaboration with the Texas Legislature. Since taking leadership of TRTA in 2004, Lee has been instrumental in advocating for the benefits of members of the Teacher Retirement System of Texas, including the protection of the defined benefit pension plan, the establishment of a pension trust fund, and efforts to reduce healthcare costs. He has also played a significant role at the federal level by supporting the Social Security Fairness Act, which repealed certain provisions affecting retired teachers.
The resolution highlights Lee's extensive experience in public pension policy, his contributions to various state legislative panels, and his active participation in professional conferences. His dedication to Texas educators has earned him the admiration of his colleagues and citizens. The Texas Senate extends its congratulations to Tim Lee on this milestone and wishes him continued success in his important work, with an official copy of the resolution to be prepared as a token of high regard.
