Biographical / Historical
Although no formal history of the organization has been located, it seems likely it is affiliated with or modeled after the Iowa Retired School Personnel Association which works primarily to inform members on issues of significance, protect and improve the financial benefits of Iowa's retired school personnel. The state organization is affiliated with the National Retired Teacher Association (NRTA).
The National Retired Teachers Association (NRTA) was founded by Dr. Ethel Percy Andrus in 1947. Eleven years later she founded AARP. Both organizations are helpful to older Americans.
IRSPA was originally called the Iowa Retired Teachers Association. In 19??, the name was changed to include all employees (School Personnel) so the organization could have a wider base. be a wide-based group.
The Davenport organization was formed in 1960. The first president was Mary Baker and the original name was the Davenport Retired Teachers Association. Between 1980-1982 it became known as the Davenport Area Retired Teachers Association and most recently the Davenport Area Retired School Personnel Association.
