AARP Decide.Create. Share Program for Women’s Long-Term Caring Needs
Happy Digital Sisterhood Wednesday!
Digital Sisterhood Network founder Ananda Leeke joined a powerful group of blogger ambassadors Jessica Ashley, Judy Freedman, Sharon Greenthal, Chloe Jefrries, and Patricia Patton in supporting AARP during the BlogHer 9th Annual Conference at the McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois. As an AARP blogger ambassador for the CareSupport Campaign and Decide.Create.Share Campaign, Leeke was on double duty. She was able to work side-by-side AARP staff and share information about AARP’s Caregiving, Decide. Create. Share., and Life Reimaged Programs with BlogHer attendees in the Expo Hall. The conversations she had with attendees underscored the importance of each campaign’s value to women. Check out the photos below.

AARP’s Decide. Create. Share. Initiative is designed to help women do three things: 1) Decide what kind of future they want for themselves. 2) Create a long-term plan that will help them address their health, financial, legal, and home issues and achieve their goals. 3) Share their long-term plan with the important people in their lives. The 40 Day Pledge offers you an opportunity to make a commitment to complete a Living Longer, Living Smarter plan for your future. It covers four critical areas of your life—your home and community, your health, your finances and your wishes.
