AARP Hosts 1st Series Of Round Table Discussions
Utica, NY (WIBX) - AARP, a non-profit group that helps people 50 and over improve their lives, hosted one of the first in a series of round table discussions today, and organizers say the aim is to focus on local concerns. Associate State Director for Community Outreach, Erin Mitchell, says they will also conduct a survey of attendees to improve the group's advocacy work.
Mitchell said that the overall aim of AARP is to help New Yorkers stay healthy and financially independent and added that the survey conducted today revealed that, "82-percent of people here in this room today, are really worried about their children's generations financial security, not so much their's, because the generation right now that we have for the most part involved in today's this round table discussion, they have saved and they are pretty set with their retirement," she said.
