A Message from Luis

Greetings, and welcome to the Northern New Jersey Retirees Unit!

Since our founding in 2016, our mission has been to improve the quality of life for retirees and their families through information, advocacy, and community. We are proud to provide meaningful opportunities to stay connected—whether through engaging presentations from knowledgeable representatives, social activities, or programs that support our well-being. Together, we continue to make a significant difference.

As your newly elected Unit Leader, I am honored to serve alongside you. I am Luis Liz, a retiree with over 30 years as an educator in the New York City Department of Education, including 14 years as an elementary school principal in Bronx District 10 and many years on the CSA Executive Board representing District 10. My lifelong belief in the value of unions—providing support, guidance, protection, and leadership—guides me in this role.

I see my responsibility as providing support, opportunities for growth, collaboration, celebration, and recreation for our membership. But I cannot and will not lead alone. Your participation, your voices, and your collaborative spirit are essential. Together, we can strengthen our community, enrich our everyday lives, and build a future where our collective voice continues to be heard.

I invite you to join me in this work. Together, we can continue to grow our Unit and make a lasting impact for all retirees.

Warm regards,
Luis Liz
Unit Leader, CSA Northern New Jersey Retirees Unit
