(Taken from July 2006 issue of "Quarterly News for NARFE Leaders")
The following oath of office was approved by the National Executive Board. Officers pledge to lead NARFE members in the effort to protect our earned benefits. This oath also makes officers aware of their responsibility to work and communicate as a team of NARFE colleagues. This reinstated oath stresses cooperation, dedication to the NARFE mission and safeguarding and delivering official records to one's successor.
