When it comes to creating positive change, volunteers are well-positioned to partner with AARP North Dakota staff to build on the steady progress we’ve made. One of our priorities is supporting members who are interested in working on issues important to those 50-plus, such as caregiving, prescription drug coverage, and fraud protection at the state level. In addition to our ongoing work at the federal level (Social Security, Medicare, and prescription drug prices), we are also looking at what work we can do at the local level to make your community a better place for you and all.

Laurie Benson is Executive Director for the Nurses on Boards Coalition (NOBC), a national organization dedicated to increasing the presence of nurses in decision-making bodies such as corporate and health-related boards and commissions. NOBC and AARP are partners in many efforts at being "wise friends and fierce defenders." During the unsettling weeks and months of the coronavirus outbreak, Laurie took the time to compile 11 tips for working at home. They're not the usual advice you see everywhere, and they're very much worth a read and some thinking time.
