Introduction of the CTA Retirement Savings Plan 

CTA is committed to help members prepare for secure retirements. The new exclusively-endorsed CTA Retirement Savings Plan, a best-in-class 403(b) plan, was developed by CTA with members’ interests our first priority.  This plan offers high-quality investment options, lower fees, transparency, and easy investment choices.  The CTA Retirement Savings Plan has been added to many districts’ approved vendor listings over the last several months.
