2023 Legislative Session Updates.
AARP works with the state and federal government to ensure policies address the needs of people aged 50 plus. This year, AARP Minnesota urges lawmakers to make needed investments to support family caregivers, services to keep older adults in their homes, address the gravity of the workforce crisis, and the growing health and financial needs of Minnesotans. This presentation will outline issues being discussed at the Minnesota State Capitol and how you can advocate for older Minnesotans.
Joining us will be Erin Parrish, the Associate State Director for Advocacy and Outreach for AARP Minnesota. In her position, Erin is responsible for AARP's grassroots advocacy efforts in Minnesota, including mobilizing AARP's volunteers and members to engage in social impact activities related to AARP's advocacy priorities. Erin has eighteen years of experience in nonprofit management, volunteer development, and grassroots organizing. She is experienced in creating statewide advocacy campaigns and building partnerships with community members, politicians, activists, foundations, and nonprofits. In her career, Erin led grassroots efforts to help pass elder abuse protections, assisted living licensure in Minnesota, and the Women's Economic Security Act. She holds a bachelor's degree in Women's Studies from Hamline University and a Master of Arts in Leadership from Augsburg College. She is an alumna of the Hubert H. Humphrey School of Public Affairs Policy Fellowship.
