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

By Doug Dickerson, State Director, AARP North Carolina

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.
