The DEAR Board is made up of retirees from DTE. DTE retirees refer to retirees from DTE Energy and its affiliates. There is no required time in retirement to qualify. We seek to have members who were represented employees and those who were not and those who retired recently as well as those who retired ‘a while’ ago.
The main focus of DEAR as an organization is protecting our benefits (in particular health care and pension) by advocating against any proposed changes in legislation at DTE at the state or national level which could negatively impact us. Board members work to maintain a positive relationship with DTE management to stay informed about and involved in potential changes.
The DEAR Board is looking for engaged individuals to serve on the board. We meet 3 or 4 times a year for about one hour and have virtual capabilities, so living local is not a requirement.
