Her volunteer service includes chairing of the Policy Advisory Board for Elder Affairs and serving as a member of the Elderly Affairs Advisory Council for Kaua`i County and a member of the Kaua`i Civil Service Commission.

“We are fortunate to have someone like Beverly, who has a commitment to improving the lives of kupuna on our Executive Council,” said Keali`i Lopez, AARP Hawai`i State Director. “We thank her for her willingness to serve and to advocate for kupuna.”

“I am learning so much about kupuna issues and concerns and look forward to serving and working with the other council members,” Gotelli said.
