The AARP Alabama state office opened in 2001. Since then the volunteers and staff have been working to improve the lives of Alabamians age 50+ and their families through outreach, advocacy, and legislative activities. Those efforts are led by eight full-time staff members and a 10-member volunteer executive council who work with hundreds of dedicated volunteers throughout the state. Those volunteers, along with Alabama's more than 430,000 AARP members, are the backbone of the organization and a driving force in every effort.
