As we step into a new month, it’s the perfect time to stay informed about the pressing issues and opportunities that could impact your life and community. This month brings a wealth of important updates, particularly for older Floridians, as the 2025 Florida Legislative Session kicks off. AARP Florida released its 2025 legislative priorities, emphasizing the importance of accessible housing options for all ages, the need to enhance long-term services and supports, and increase consumer protections as top priorities for the AARP advocacy team and volunteers. Understanding these key issues is crucial for staying engaged and advocating for policies that make a positive difference.
This year’s annual AARP Wyoming Volunteer Summit was an incredible experience, thanks to our amazing volunteer leaders who came ready to connect, learn, and engage. Held at Ucross Ranch in Johnson County, our summit brought staff and volunteers together in a setting that was as inspiring as it was impactful. From sessions focused on caregiving and fraud prevention to immersive activities around the good and the bad of artificial intelligence, we created a space where volunteers could gain valuable insights and explore new ways to engage their communities.
AARP Wyoming’s steadfast adherence to nonpartisanship reinforces trust among our members and strengthens our ability to serve as an effective advocate.
The October 2024 AARP Volunteer Summit was an incredible gathering, brimming with excitement and a powerful sense of purpose! Each year, dedicated AARP volunteers from across the state and our tight-knit team of four staff from the Wyoming State Office come together to reconnect, rejuvenate, and dive into fresh ideas and initiatives that strengthen our communities. This year, we saw our shared commitment deepen toward AARP’s five priorities: Fraud Prevention, Caregiving, Social Connections, Veterans Support, and Brain Health.
