Margot James Copeland Begins AARP Board of Directors Term
WASHINGTON—AARP today welcomed Margot James Copeland to its Board of Directors, who will serve a two-year term concluding in June 2022. The Board of Directors is the governing body of AARP and provides strategic direction, sets policy, and provides governance oversight for AARP. Directors’ responsibilities include approving AARP’s strategic plan, approving the budget, and monitoring AARP’s finances.
Copeland serves on the Board of Trustees for the Cleveland Clinic as Vice Chair of Government & Community Relations, as well as the board of the Cleveland Orchestra, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Museum and Say Yes to Education. She recently concluded nine years at Kent State University as Board Secretary, Chair of Nominating and Governance, and Chair of Academic Excellence and Student Success. Copeland recently retired as Chair & Chief Executive Officer of the KeyBank Foundation, and also served as National President of The Links, Incorporated, an organization of African American women devoted to strengthening African American communities through education, advocacy, and volunteering.
Copeland will be a member of the Audit and Finance Committee as part of the Board of Directors, and will also serve on the Board of AARP Foundation.
“I am delighted to join AARP’s Board of Directors,” Copeland said. “AARP is a leader in fighting for increased access to affordable health care, and is a positive force for diversity and inclusion throughout our society. AARP’s work takes on even greater importance during this pandemic. I look forward to working with colleagues on the AARP Board and with the AARP team to combat health care disparities, promote financial security, and address other critical issues.”
