What is the State President and Executive Council br

The State President leads the Executive Council. The Executive Council works with staff and volunteers to establish strategic goals and objectives on a local level consistent with AARP’s national strategic framework. The Executive Council is not a Board of Directors. AARP has a separate group of national volunteers that serve as the Board of Directors that set policy.

Who is on the Executive Council br

In addition to the State President the Executive Council consists of the State Director, at least three but no more than six additional members.

Position Function br

In partnership with the State Director and in collaboration with other appropriate volunteers and staff, the State President positions AARP in the state to achieve the AARP vision, mission, and strategic priorities. The State President will be governed by the policies and procedures of the Association.

Term of Service br

Two years, with option by supervisor to renew twice, not to exceed six years.

How much time does being State President require br

The duties of the State President require a significant on-going time commitment. Week to week there can be a wide variation in the amount of time a State President spends with AARP, based on workflow and the interest and new opportunities they (in partnership with the State Director) identify. However, a State President must effectively partner with staff, serve as a spokesperson for AARP, chair Executive Council meetings, lead and support AARP volunteers and network with policy makers and partners. Additional opportunities for the State President include representing Virginia at national meetings and conferences, as well as representing AARP on various statewide taskforces and commissions. The President also attends AARP events across the state to speak, provide support and interact with members and the 50+ population generally. The active involvement of the state president is vital to the success of AARP in Virginia.
