On the National front, the Board of Directors has assigned a special committee to study the pros and cons of a possible name change.  Obviously, the TROA name has been around for a long time and the possible loss of name recognition is a factor being considered.  On the other side, it is perceived that many eligible individuals do not consider joining our organization because they are not “retired.”  While TROA National is evaluating whether the organization’s name should be changed, we can do our part to dispel the myth that you must be retired to belong to TROA.
