AARP Florida is making a difference where you live.
As we step into a new month, it’s the perfect time to stay informed about the pressing issues and opportunities that could impact your life and community. This month brings a wealth of important updates, particularly for older Floridians, as the 2025 Florida Legislative Session kicks off.

AARP Florida has unveiled its 2025 legislative priorities, focusing on accessible and affordable housing for all ages, enhancing long-term services and supports, and boosting consumer protections.
AARP Florida’s Executive Council is pleased to announce the appointment of two new volunteers, Kip Corriveau and Frank Wells, who bring a wealth of experience and enthusiasm to their new roles.
