The Value of RAM Continued Connection, Advocacy & Benefits

In this episode of On the Job with PORAC, PORAC President Brian Marvel sits down with RAM Chairman Chris Coulter to discuss the importance of staying connected after retirement and the continued value of PORAC’s Retired Associate Membership (RAM) program. The conversation highlights how RAM helps retired peace officers remain informed, engaged, and protected long after active service ends. Brian and Chris discuss continued legislative advocacy, access to PORAC benefits and resources, the importance of retiree representation in public safety policy, and how RAM helps officers maintain strong ties to the profession and one another.   They also break down key retiree benefits including access to PORAC’s Legal Defense Fund Plan V, nationwide support and protection, legislative victories like the Social Security Fairness Act, and why retirees continue to play a critical role in advocacy efforts at both the state and federal levels.   As RAM continues to expand nationally, this episode serves as an important reminder that retirement does not mean losing your voice, your protection, or your connection to the profession.   Connect and Learn More   PORAC Retired Associate Membership (RAM)   https://porac.org/about/committees/retired-associate-membership/   Brian Marvel Twitter: https://x.com/BrianMarvel Instagram: / brianmarvel Facebook: / brian.r.marvel LinkedIn: / brianmarvel
