Welcome to the USGS
Retirees Website! USGS Retirees is an
organization of retirees from the U. S. Geological Survey. The organization,
founded in 1973 as the WRD Retirees, is run by retirees for retirees. Its
principal purpose is to keep members in touch with each other and with their
former agency. While the majority of our
members have a background in Water, all USGS Retirees are welcome. Retirees
with a background in Geology may also be interested in the Geologic Division
Retirees (gdretirees@gmail.com.) I think all of us that
were long time employees of USGS know what an outstanding organization we
retired from and have many interesting stories about the work we did and the
people we worked with. USGS Retirees is an excellent way to maintain contact
with our friends and colleagues, and also to keep up on what is going on in
our former agency. Membership is open to
anyone retired from USGS. An application form may be found elsewhere on the
website. Also, please note that we have a membership category,
"Affiliate Member". Affiliate members are (1) retirees from the
Department of the Interior and its other bureaus, (2) retirees of Federal,
State, or local organizations who have had long association with and desire
to remain in contact with our members, or (3) other retired persons allied
with USGS by professional background or activities. Current employees can
also be affiliates. USGS Retirees has a
contact person in most states. Please see the list of State Contacts on this
website. Please get in touch with the contact person in your state to learn
about local activities which may include breakfasts or luncheons. Regular
meetings are held at about 40 locations around the U. S. The local contact
person can tell you when and where these meetings are held. National
reunions are held every two years. The
reunions generally last 3 days but only involve one 2-3
hour business meeting. The rest of the time we have fun! They feature
several field trips, a banquet, and a hospitality room. Our quarterly
Newsletter is the best way for keeping in
touch. Newsletters are available on this website and are available by e-mail
for our members. We also publish the USGS Retirees Directory each year that
is mailed to members.The directory is updated annually in May. If you have
moved or changed your phone or email, please let us know by April. Plan to stay in touch with your friends and former colleagues by being
an active member of USGS Retirees. You'll be glad you did! www.wrdretirees.org
