Broderick replaces Marti Zinns, a longtime voice for public pensions and retired educators on the board.

Broderick is a retired special education teacher for 41 years from the St. Cloud School District. Previously, she served on the TRA Board of Trustees as an active representative from 2007-2019.

She retired from teaching in 2018.

Broderick hopes to use her knowledge and experience to improve pensions for retired teachers across Minnesota.

Broderick’s start date was Jan. 2 and her term expires on June 30, 2025.
