What is ARHME?

ARHME was created to give a voice and face to those of us who, after years of loyal and conscientious public service, are retired from the City of Houston and are receiving pension benefits from Houston Municipal Employees Pension System (HMEPS). The bond we shared on the job, and now in retirement, requires us to come together to face vital common issues. 

MISSION

ARHME has three broad missions: 

  • Inform and educate retirees, active city employees, and elected and appointed officials on matters concerning our pensions and benefits.

  • Take such action as necessary and appropriate to protect and preserve retirement benefits.

  • Provide a means for city retirees to stay connected with one another.
