Mattie Lawrence Johnson worked hard as a property manager for more than 20 years, and when she retired five years ago, she never slowed down. Her zest for service makes her one of the busiest volunteers in Southeast Virginia, boosting the programs of at least five organizations.
This appreciation award will be presented to a volunteer who has exemplified leadership, utilized their experience and skills to enrich their communities, and who continues to inspire others to serve as AARP Arkansas volunteers.
Every election season, AARP advocates for the issues that are important to Granite Staters 50-plus. Our volunteers are our boots on ground at campaign events where they ask questions and get every candidate on the record about where they stand on the issues that matter the most to our members and all people age 50-plus.
The Volunteer Comms Team works with the state office staff to share the story of AARP Arkansas by keeping members and the media advised of volunteer activities and information from the state/national office.
