AARP OWES THIS TO ITS MEMBERSHIP

AARP is a membership association. 

 

Membership fees are the fuel that keeps the association's engine running.

 

As such, this association should be transparent as to the make-up of its engine parts.

 

That said, MODERATORS for the AARP forums should be identified as member fees do pay their salaries. Transparency of this type would assure members that MODERATORS hold no agenda and are truly neutral in all subject matter in which AARP is involved.

      NC @nctarheel , I maybe wrong (probably am/lol  😂) - I "think" ALL of the AARP Consumercare Team @AARPConsumerCare are NOW "moderating" this AARP Community Board.

       

      NO more "dedicated" moderator(s) as we had over the years.

       

      As we all know, 2025 brought some "changes" & it seems a TEAM now handles things.

       

      Take care,

      Nicole!

      While they may call themselves a team, a decision maker still proffers their decisions.

       

      Even if they are a team, my premise doesn't change, @SummerOnTheWay1 .

       

      As our fees pay their salaries, there should be transparency to insure that our fees to the NON-PROFIT are being used in a manner that guarantees that all members are shielded from MODERATOR's personal agendas if they exist.

        NC @nctarheel , NOT sure what you are needing, apologies from this "confused" old lady!  🙄

         

        With me, they have ALWAYS "used" their AARP names even with the "new" 2025 team setup.

         

        And when I "respond" to their PMs (private messages), I put the Employee's Name in the SUBJECT. So far, I have had NO issues.

         

        Anyway, nice to see you back posting.

         

        You & your wife have a GREAT Sunday!!!
