th
, 2019 for the next one!
Special thanks to Kevin Croke, General Manager, The Mayfair at Coconut Grove and his team for hosting a delicious breakfast for our members.
I had the opportunity to attend the NAF National Convening of Advisory Board Leaders in mid-June in NYC with industry partners, educators, superintendents, corporate leaders, and not for profit executives to exchange initiatives taking place amongst our boards. Having the opportunity to chat with NAF Founder and Chairman Sandy Weill was very special.

With more than 20 million older adults at risk of not having enough income to meet their basic needs, AARP Foundation seeks out solutions that equip low-income older workers with skills and resources to build economic opportunity. The Foundation’s workforce development programs offer low-income workers the training they need to secure better, higher-paying jobs.
Through AARP Foundation’s advancement training for frontline employees, employers can retain and increase the productivity of their employees at a very low cost to the company, giving businesses a competitive advantage and their employees the opportunity to thrive. To qualify, workers must be age 50 or older, have been with their current employer for six months or more, and earn $16 or less per hour. The Foundation will either subsidize outside training for an employee, with the employer covering a portion of the training costs scaled to the company’s size, or will reimburse the employer directly for on-the-job training if they commit to increasing the employee’s earnings when the training is completed.
AARP Foundation looks forward to working with GMBH members in Miami to implement this program. Please see the attached flier for additional information. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Kammie Reile at
kreile@aarp.org
