As a Staff Retiree, we want to welcome you to the UC Davis and UC Davis Health retiree community!
The UC Davis Retirees Association (UCDRA) works closely with the UC Davis Retiree Center to provide important support and resources for retirees - from advocating for ongoing benefits to planning social activities to keep you connected to UC Davis and fellow retirees.
UCDRA is an all-volunteer organization and your membership is important. Being a UCDRA member will not only provide you special benefits (e.g., program discounts and invitations to members-only events), it will help strengthen our work as an Association to benefit all retirees.
UCDRA provides the following services and programs for its members:
- Fosters a strong working relationship with UC Davis and the UC Office of the President as an officially recognized campus affiliate
- Communicates updates on retiree benefits such as health and welfare plan changes, cost-of-living adjustments, and the Retiree Parking Program (see attached PDF for more information about the parking program)
- Advocates on behalf of retirees at biannual meetings of the system-wide Council of UC Retiree Associations (CUCRA) which monitors proposed policy changes to inform policy-makers and provide advice on how such changes impact retirees
- Awards educational scholarships annually to UC Davis and health system employees
- Recognizes one or more outstanding retirees annually
- Collaborates with the staff of the UC Davis Retiree Center, established in 2006 through the efforts of the UCDRA and the UCDEA
- Offers enlightenment and fun by planning a variety of social and educational programs
