Welcome NYSTRS Delegates

Delegates are active NYSTRS members elected to represent their co-workers and employers at the System's Annual Delegates Meeting, held each November. A delegate's primary responsibility is to elect a teacher member to the System's Retirement Board.

Read about delegate responsibilities and entitlement in our Delegate FAQs or in our pamphlet Electing & Reporting Retirement System Delegates, and learn about the delegate election process.
