Celebrating Five Organizations That Work to Improve the Quality of Life
for All North Carolinians
AARP’s goal is to help people 50+ live life to the fullest. We are a nonpartisan social welfare
organization with a membership. As a social welfare organization (as well as the organization
that has the nation’s largest membership for people 50+) AARP is leading a revolution in the way
people view and live life after 50.
On Thursday, December 8, 2011, at a gala event, AARP North Carolina will recognize five
organizations that have demonstrated efforts of working in the state in collaboration with
diverse communities.
Multicultural outreach is a vital component of AARP’s efforts to deliver its programs and
activities in North Carolina and across the country. A. Barry Rand, AARP’s Chief Executive Officer,
reiterates that commitment: “Everywhere I’ve worked, my goal has always been to open the door
to the American dream for all people to broaden the culture of America and to ensure that it was
more inclusive.”
AARP recognizes it is the power of our combined interest, energy and commitment that helps
make life better for our families and our communities. We invite you to submit nominations for
North Carolina organizations that have a track record of working in collaboration across diverse
communities. Applications will be reviewed by a selection committee; committee members may
not submit nominations for consideration.
