Meet Risa Page

Page retired after 40 years in education, including 28 years as a public high school educator. She taught high school English, mentored teacher candidates at UNLV, and helped develop the site facilitation curriculum used throughout the Clark County School District. She holds a Master of Curriculum and Teaching from Michigan State University.

AARP

For the past six years, Page has volunteered with the AARP Fraud Watch Network and AARP Driver Safety. As an AARP Nevada Speakers Bureau ambassador, she presents on fraud, Medicare, Social Security, brain health, and other issues. She also serves nationally as a facilitator and education ambassador with AARP’s Office of Volunteer Engagement, co-leading workshops that help volunteers explore opportunities and stay involved.

Her service reaches beyond AARP. Page has volunteered for 12 years with the Trauma Intervention Program of Southern Nevada, and from 2018 to 2023 she served as community outreach educator and program developer for the Clark County Coroner’s Office.

Born and raised in Michigan, Page moved to Las Vegas in 2004 and lives with her husband, Tom, and their two rescue cats.

“Volunteering has given me opportunities to listen, learn, and collaborate with people across our communities,” Page said. “I look forward to supporting our volunteers and working together to help more Nevadans find useful information, get involved, and stay connected.”

Page will succeed Charlie Shepard, who continues to serve as State President through the end of 2026. Story thanked Shepard for his leadership and service to Nevada’s volunteers and members. Shepard will support the transition as Page prepares to begin her term.
