AARP Public Policies

Volunteer for the AARP National Policy Council

The AARP National Policy Council (NPC) Nominating Committee is accepting applications for the volunteer NPC. The NPC studies public policy options, considers opinions of members, guidance of staff and nationally renowned policy experts and makes annual public policy recommendations for the Board's consideration and approval.

The NPC, composed of a diverse cross-section of AARP members with a proven record of public policy experience and accomplishments, serves as an advisory body to the AARP Board of Directors. The NPC members serve overlapping terms so that the entire Council does not turn over at one time. This year, the Nominating Committee is recruiting to replace two members whose terms are concluding. This is a highly competitive process.

APPOINTMENT CRITERIA

To be considered, qualified applicants must:
  • have experience developing and analyzing public policy issues;
  • have the ability and time to fully participate in the NPC;
  • be open to new and challenging concepts; and
  • be an AARP member (age 50 and over).

    The NPC Nominating Committee screens, interviews and recommends candidates to the Board of Directors. Interviews of the final round of candidates will be conducted in April followed by the Board of Directors review and approval of NPC appointments in May.

    Please refer to the "NPC Member Position Description and Selection Criteria."
