About Wyoming's Coalition
The Wyoming Coalition for a Healthy Retirement (WCHR) believes that all workers deserve to retire with dignity. The coalition works day-in and day-out to preserve and protect all retirees’ financial security participating in the Wyoming Retirement System (WRS). Public employees in Wyoming put aside a piece of every paycheck to fund their retirement. No politician or Wall Street interest should take away the hard-earned retirement security of these public servants.
