AARP has a new CEO: physician and public health advocate Myechia Minter-Jordan

The association of nearly 38 million members is promising a ‘new chapter’ of advocacy just days after older voters played a decisive role in U.S. elections.

AARP has tapped Dr. Myechia Minter-Jordan as its new CEO while promising a “new chapter” of advocating for Americans who are 50 and older and their families, the group said on Tuesday. The organization, which claims nearly 38 million members, touted Minter-Jordan’s career as a physician and public health advocate, and as a business leader who has worked to improve the health and wellness of individuals and communities.
