Fighter for Retirees Retires
Judy Park joined the staff of an organization known as the National Association of Retired Civil Employees in 1968 as assistant to its president. In short order, NARCE became the National Association of Retired Federal Employees (and, later, the National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association), and Park became its legislative director. And there she has remained, fighting to promote legislation on behalf of federal retirees. Until tomorrow, that is, when she retires.
“There are some people who think Judy has been here since NARFE began,” said the organization's president, Margaret L. Baptiste. “But, actually, she’s been here for slightly less than half our 87-year history. She’s done a magnificent job and she will be missed by all of us in NARFE.”
