http://www.isualum.org/index.cfm?nodeID=10747&audienceID=1
“The Iowa State University Retirees Association was formed in 1975 to provide a link between the university and all retired faculty, staff, and their spouses. In 2006, the ISU Alumni Association began overseeing this program. The ISURA is an official university committee whose members are appointed to represent each college, the Parks Library, Extension, the Merit staff, the Professional and Scientific staff, and the University Benefits Committee. A Faculty Senate representative and the Iowa State University Retirees Newsletter editor are also members of the committee. The staff of the ISU Alumni Association and a representative from university administration are ex-officio members of the committee.
“All ISU retirees and their spouses are invited to become actively involved in the ISU Retirees Association. There are no membership dues--all that is required is an interest in participating in its activities and programs.”
