AARP DC Speakers Bureau: Request a Free Speaker for Your Group

Does your community group need a speaker? AARP DC volunteers can deliver presentations on a variety of topics to groups of 25 or more across the District. We can tailor the length of the talk to fit the group’s needs.

Topics include:

• Fraud (20-45 mins.) - AARP helps attendees protect themselves and their loved ones by looking at fraud trends and behavior; The Con Artist’s Play Book; prevention techniques and resources.
• Caregiving (20-45 mins.) - AARP will give an overview of available resources that may be of help to caregivers and walk through AARP’s Prepare to Care planning guide.
• District Legislative Update (20-30 mins.) - AARP will discuss pending and recently passed legislation by the District Council that impacts people over the age of 50.
• Social Security (20-45 mins.) - AARP will give a brief history of Social Security and cover some of the basics of the program including characteristics of the current recipients, funding mechanisms and the financial issues concerning the program.
• Medicare (20 to 30 minutes) - AARP will conduct a workshop that briefly discusses the Basics of Medicare – an overview of the different parts of Medicare, what is covered and the costs, and your Medicare Choices – an overview of the different types of Medicare plans.

“These presentations are a fun way to learn about issues that matter to District residents age 50-plus,” said Louis Davis, Jr., AARP State Director.
