Welcome to CMERA!
Since its beginning in 1980, CMERA has served to assist and advocate for the members of the Cincinnati Retirement System (CRS). Over the years, CMERA has helped to secure enhancements to the CRS retirement plan and the benefits retirees received. On the other side of the coin, CMERA has also been there to help preserve the plan for the CRS members. Many friendships have been formed or renewed through CMERA.
The Purpose and Function of CMERA is as follows:
Work toward enhanced quality of life for all retired members of CRS, by:
- advocating for the interests of retirees;
- offering information and education for retirees on their retirement benefits, rights, and other topics of interest;
- monitoring implementation of the 2016 Collaborative Settlement Agreement (CSA);
- partnering with the CRS Board of Trustees, CRS administration, and all other stakeholders to work to assure longterm stability of the CRS.
