Welcome to PSEA Retired Eastern Region, one of twelve regions in Pennsylvania, formed by the five counties of Berks, Carbon, Lehigh, Northampton, and Schuylkill. Our organization is open to any retired school employee including teachers, support staff, and administrators. We strive to provide a forum to keep members abreast of issues such as health care, COLAS, and other areas that are of interest and concern to retirees. We also provide a social aspect with meetings and activities directed to that end. As former school employees, we work on behalf of issues that affect our public schools.
