Wasserman Schultz Statement on Appointment of Jo Ann Jenkins as AARP CEO

05/14/14
 
WASHINGTON – U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23) issued the following statement today after AARP named Jo Ann Jenkins as its new Chief Executive Officer:
 
“I offer my sincerest congratulations to Jo Ann on being appointed the new CEO of AARP, the first permanent female chief executive in the organization’s history.
 
“I was fortunate to collaborate with Jo Ann when she worked at the Library of Congress, and I always admired her work ethic and inspirational leadership skills.  These were qualities she brought to AARP and that served her well; for instance, her efforts to develop hunger and poverty fighting programs speaks to her clear vision and her undeniable dedication to our nation’s seniors.  
 
“I know many of my constituents appreciated her initiatives that expanded programs to train seniors on using technology to further their careers and lowered health care costs for older Americans.  With a still recovering economy and changing health care landscape, these skills will prove crucial to our seniors’ ability to enjoy long, happy, and financial secure lives.
 
“I look forward to watching AARP thrive under Jo Ann’s dynamic leadership.”
