As a membership organization, it’s vital for us to have our members’ current contact information (e.g., address, phone, and e-mail) to provide member benefits and to conduct business. We will ask for your contact information when you first become a member.
Section 3: Information We Share
We do not sell your information. We share your information with others as you permit or as required by law. For example, we share the data you include in an online membership application with the Los Angeles County Employees Retirement Association (LACERA) so that LACERA can deduct your RELAC membership dues from your retirement allowance.
