AARP Alaska Announces New State President

Rachel Greenberg

AARP Alaska is excited to announce Rachel Greenberg as the new State President, the state’s top volunteer position.

As part of the nation’s largest nonprofit, AARP state presidents work closely with their state’s director, staff, and volunteers to keep efforts and initiatives running smoothly. Greenberg will also chair the AARP Executive Council, a volunteer leadership committee that helps set AARP’s state agenda and programs for its over 73,000 members and volunteers. She replaces outgoing Volunteer State President Madeline Holdorf, who has served in the role since 2021.

“We are thrilled to welcome Rachel on board as we continue our work to empower older Alaskans,” said AARP Alaska State Director Teresa Holt. “Her strong background in senior services and healthcare will give us an important perspective on some of our top priorities, which will no doubt strengthen our reach and impact across Alaska.”

Rachel Greenberg, who recently retired from a career in senior services and health care, is a lifelong Alaskan raised in Juneau and now living in Mat-Su. Before retirement, Rachel served on the Alaska Commission on Aging, advocating for senior services. Since retiring, Rachel enjoys volunteering at health fairs, her community council, AARP, Fuller Center Mat-Su, and more. She’s also working on a project designed to support people living with dementia. She enjoys traveling, hiking, biking, other outdoor activities, and spending time with her partner.

“I am honored, thrilled, and a little apprehensive to be selected to serve as the AARP Alaska State President,” said Greenberg. “I look forward to collaborating with the dedicated AARP staff and volunteers to make a positive difference in the quality of life for our elders and older Alaskans, by finding ways to continue working with partners around Alaska to ensure older Alaskans can access services, supports, and social activities to fulfill the mission and priorities of AARP.
