Message from the Chairman - 2009
The Phoenix Society provides a great way to stay in
touch with friends and acquaintances who have retired;
helps sponsor Retirees Day where members receive updates
from senior leadership on what’s happening in the Agency
and spend an evening socializing with friends; provides
insights on job opportunities for those still interested
in being a part of the workforce after retirement; forms
a foundation for a cryptologic reserve to locate people
in case of a crisis; and sponsors outstanding travel
opportunities throughout the year. Contrary to
popular belief, you don’t have to be retired to join.
All the benefits of the Phoenix Society can be yours
before you retire.
The current Phoenix Society Board of Directors and the
office staff look forward to supporting you throughout
2009. The following are some of our ongoing
activities:
| ·
|
The new Civilian DoD ID card is now
available. Best of luck to all getting one
and using it.
|
| ·
|
Our financial seminars will continued through
2009 and we plan on adding one or more by Tower
Federal Credit Union.
|
| ·
|
Even in these tough economic times we will
continue to offer new and fun local and
out-of-area trips.
|
| ·
|
We continue to experiment with our mail order
service for the purchase of selected Agency items.
Look for our newest item, a Phoenix Society golf
shirt this year.

|
Our bimonthly History Today item will
continue throughout the year and beyond.
|
|

Retiree Day is scheduled for October 2009.

|
We are working with the Agency to offer a
Retiree Day to folks living in TBD areas around
the country this fall. Stay tuned for more
information.
|
|
·
|
We are working with the Agency to offer a
knowledge transfer speakers series by our
retirees to Agency personnel during the lunch
hour. We have done two so far and are
working on a third.
|
We are always interested in identifying new and
innovative ways to support you. We’d like to hear
from you. Please send ideas and comments to the
Phoenix Society by mail, email, or drop into the office
if you are in the building and visit the staff.
Our board meets once a month and we look forward to
discussing your suggestions. Have a terrific
2009!!!
