All the news that matters for Illinoisans over 50
Hello! My name is Gail.
As a retired marketing communications professional, I have been volunteering as part of the AARP Illinois Communications Team for the last four years or so. During this time, I’ve seen a lot of activity coming from the Illinois team.
With so much of this coming from regular e-blasts or social media, I often wonder how much of this reaches you – AARP-IL valued members – and what you think about all of this.
So, from time to time, you’ll see this new column from me. We’re calling it “In Conversation” because we’re hoping you’ll engage with me in response to these posts.
We hope you’ll join the conversation by sending your thoughts through Facebook and telling us what you think.
