The AARP Oregon Women’s Summit will include a series of virtual events on caregiving, entrepreneurship, finance and other issues. One featured speaker will discuss how starting their own business could be a path toward financial security for those 50-plus.
On September 15, AARP Oregon hosted a live tele-town hall event to discuss current AARP Oregon priorities, from fighting fraud to our work at the legislature.
When the next legislative session begins, on Tuesday, Jan. 19, AARP Oregon will push for better state oversight, more personal protective equipment, frequent testing of residents and staff, virtual visitations and paid sick leave for staffers who test positive.
Join us every month to hear from national and Oregon thought leaders on key age-friendly topics, including current research, best practices, and policy solutions.
When the Legislature reconvenes on Monday, Feb. 3, AARP Oregon and its volunteer advocates will pursue two important objectives: protections against age discrimination, and funds for respite services for family caregivers.
According to an AARP survey, many older adults report age bias at work. A task force could help examine the laws and champion legislation to address age discrimination in the workplace.
With the legislature in full swing, AARP members can sign up for advocacy alerts and make their voices heard when it’s time to fight for older Oregonians.
