AARP Massachusetts

AARP Massachusetts announces the appointment of D. JacQuie Cairo-Williams as its new State President, the top state volunteer post within the organization’s influential network of volunteers. As the nation’s largest nonprofit, nonpartisan organization, AARP’s state presidents work in partnership with their respective state directors, staff and volunteers to lead AARP’s important advocacy and programmatic work. Cairo-Williams replaces outgoing volunteer state president Sandra Harris who served in the role since 2019.

Help drive AARP's mission forward as a LEAD Volunteer. They get to do things like: help lobby elected officials on policy initiatives, host educational workshops, or engage in voter education efforts (and so much more). LEAD Volunteers are invested in the work of AARP, enjoy working with people, and are interested in creating a sense of community with purpose!

AARP Massachusetts has issued a call to action to state legislators, urging them to address significant funding shortfalls in the Fiscal Year 2025 budget that threaten vital home care services for older adults.
