    • An unwieldy acronym becomes the star of the show

    RTOERO is the largest national provider of non-profit group health benefits for education retirees. The organization used to be known as Retired Teachers of Ontario but had expanded its mission to the point where its name was no longer appropriate. This resulted in the bilingual acronym RTOERO, which, let’s face it, is unwieldy at best.
