November is National Family Caregivers Month, a chance to recognize the contributions, commitment, and sacrifices made by America’s 63 million family caregivers every single day.
AARP Oklahoma is hosting a virtual conversation on the AARP Oklahoma Facebook page on Thursday, February 9, at 10 a.m. to discuss AARP Oklahoma’s statewide advocacy work. AARP Oklahoma State Director Sean Voskuhl will outline advocacy efforts at the Capitol and take questions.
The state president is a volunteer who serves as spokesperson and representative for AARP across Idaho. In this role, Blasch will chair the all-volunteer Executive Council, a diverse group of professionals who provide advice and counsel to advance AARP’s social mission in Idaho.
AARP in Minnesota has called on lawmakers to pass a Paid Family and Medical Leave program, which would provide up to 12 weeks of paid leave to care for a seriously ill family member or a worker’s own serious health condition. The Paid Family and Medical Leave Act (HF2; Richardson/SF2; Mann) would allow working family caregivers in Minnesota to take time off from their paid jobs without the fear of losing their paycheck.
We know that it takes time to build great communities. But we also believe that tangible improvements can spark long-term change. AARP launched the Community Challenge in 2017 to fund projects that build momentum to improve livability nationwide. We are excited to announce the program is back in 2023 for its seventh year and is currently accepting applications online through March 15, 2023 at 4:00 p.m. CT.
