Get to know AARP and connect with other members and volunteers at our "Free Coffee & Donut Days" in June in Burlington.

Between June 1-29, AARP is hosting Medicare Health Care and You! meetings to learn about some of the challenges facing health care reform and get information about different proposals being discussed in Washington. The sessions are also an opportunity for Iowans to voice their concerns about the future of health care and Medicare, and learn how to get involved in advocacy efforts to strengthen health care coverage for older Iowans. The events are all free and open to AARP members and the general public and include lunch and refreshments.

Letter to Senate Warns Against Age Tax, Taking Away Pre-existing Condition Protections, Massive Health Care Cost Increases

The Volunteer Transitions Program (VTP) is an emerging program from the Office of Volunteer Engagement (OVE) designed to connect with – and learn from – leadership volunteers who have recently transitioned from their AARP position due to the end of their term or assignment or for their own reasons. One goal of the VTP effort is to express appreciation to leadership volunteers for the dedication and service they have given to advance AARP’s social mission. The effort also helps OVE gather insights about the transitioning volunteer’s personal experiences so that we can ultimately improve the overall AARP volunteer experience. Volunteer leaders engage with this optional program through a confidential online survey and may also choose to participate in a 1:1 conversation with a trained Transitions Liaison (who is also a volunteer) or join AARP’s Alumni Community to stay informed and connected with AARP and one another.
