TO:: All
members and potential members,
As President
of the Colorado Federation, I WELCOME you to the Colorado Federation of Chapters web site! The Colorado Federation of
Chapters of the National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association (NARFE) was established on July 5, 1962. NARFE
is a grass-roots organization whose strength lies with its members in the local chapters. Colorado is made up of 25 chapters, of
which one is a statewide chapter, all located within seven congressional districts of Colorado and representing over 6,600
members who are active and retired federal employees, as well as spouses and survivor annuitants. The purpose of the Colorado Federation of Chapters, along with the
national office of the National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association (NARFE) and local chapters, is to aid
and support NARFE in the objectives set forth in the National Articles of Incorporations and its Mission Statement. Our
purpose is to support congressional legislation which is vital to the protection of our earned retirement benefits and
oppose legislation contrary to those interests. To do this we encourage current and retired employees to contact members
of Congress to assist in the protection of these benefits. This site also provides information on the issues that are of importance to the current federal worker
and retiree, both those covered by Federal Employee’s Retirement System (FERS) and Civil Service Retirement System
(CSRS) [see Employed Member section]. Links are also provided to direct you to another agency or website to assist in
your needs. The Federation holds a Convention in May of each year. The next Convention is posted on the web site.
The federation lobbies also for your earned rights and benefits
at the state level. By establishing a viable political base at the grassroots level, it channels member efforts so as to support
National NARFE policies. NARFE also supports contributions for NARFE's political fund to support political candidates.
This web site will allow us to keep you informed along with the voice of the 25 chapters. Please visit all sections of this
web site to find what interests will be of importance and valuable to you.
Thanks for stopping
by and come back again!
