AARP advocates on policy issues that matter most to Maryland residents age 50 and over and their families. In our state legislative advocacy efforts, we rely on our hundreds of volunteers and more than 800,000 members across Maryland.
Patients in Maryland hospitals spent a median time of 247 minutes in the ER before leaving. AARP will work with a coalition of other groups on legislative steps to address the problem.
April is National Volunteer Month and we could not accomplish all we do for Marylanders aged 50 plus and their families, including our members, with out our dedicated corps of volunteers. Our volunteers have stepped up mightily over the past year as we converted our programming online and helped us to continue serving the our community.
AARP’s commitment to educating and advocating for people over 50 started with the National Retired Teachers Association (NRTA), which represents the interests of educators 50 and older. The organization has a national network of nearly a million retired educators and school personnel.
AARP Maryland State President Jim Campbell has been selected by The Daily Record editorial staff as one of Maryland’s power players on their inaugural "Power 100" list. This group is composed of the most significant and respected leaders in the state’s business, legal and government communities, according to the paper.
