Why Not Join A Chapter Of RTAM?

Is There One Near You?

Beth Smith, Membership & Chapters Chair

Occasionally, upon or sometimes after retirement, members choose to move to reside in a different location. Joining a

Chapter in a new or different location can help connect you with new friends and acquaintances who may have shared backgrounds and experiences from your former connected occupations. Chapters always do appreciate more new and different members amongst their membership! There are nineteen RTAM Chapters in all. Sixteen in Manitoba, two in British Columbia and one in

Calgary, Alberta.

If there is not one near you and you would like to start one, RTAM can help, just contact us. Check out the RTAM website (rtam.mb.ca) under

Chapters to find the contact information for these

Chapters and find out some of the exciting Chapter
