I’ll celebrate my 10th year anniversary with AARP this year. When I started, I could not have fully anticipated how deeply this mission would become part of my life. What began as a professional opportunity quickly grew into a calling—one grounded in listening to older Wyomingites, working alongside passionate volunteers, and advocating for policies that help people live with dignity, independence, and purpose.
This year’s annual AARP Wyoming Volunteer Summit was an incredible experience, thanks to our amazing volunteer leaders who came ready to connect, learn, and engage. Held at Ucross Ranch in Johnson County, our summit brought staff and volunteers together in a setting that was as inspiring as it was impactful. From sessions focused on caregiving and fraud prevention to immersive activities around the good and the bad of artificial intelligence, we created a space where volunteers could gain valuable insights and explore new ways to engage their communities.
AARP Wyoming’s steadfast adherence to nonpartisanship reinforces trust among our members and strengthens our ability to serve as an effective advocate.
The October 2024 AARP Volunteer Summit was an incredible gathering, brimming with excitement and a powerful sense of purpose! Each year, dedicated AARP volunteers from across the state and our tight-knit team of four staff from the Wyoming State Office come together to reconnect, rejuvenate, and dive into fresh ideas and initiatives that strengthen our communities. This year, we saw our shared commitment deepen toward AARP’s five priorities: Fraud Prevention, Caregiving, Social Connections, Veterans Support, and Brain Health.
