Re: Membership Options

Congratulations on retiring from UGA Cooperative Extension! There have been questions/concerns that have risen with recent retirements and rehire situations. Hopefully, this explanation will clear things up on options for retirees or retire/rehires regarding membership in GACAA. There are a couple of options depending on your situation as follows:

Situation #1 - Retire with no rehire

• Retirees have the option of becoming life members in GOTCAA by sending a payment of $150.00 to the GOTCAA Treasurer, Mickey Fourakers.
• Or no membership

Situation #2 - Retire with rehire

• Agents that plan to rehire for the year following retirement have the option of continuing Active Status in GACAA by renewing their annual membership - they would be eligible to apply for awards, presentations, poster sessions, etc., as active members.
• Agents that plan to rehire can become life members in GOTCAA by sending a payment of $150.00 to the GOTCAA Treasurer, Mickey Fourakers.
• Or no membership

Thank you for your service as Extension Professionals. I would encourage you to continue on in an active status or as a life member, and share your experience and knowledge with our current and upcoming County Extension Agents and Extension Specialists.

Sincerely,

Scott Carlson
GACAA Membership Chair
