Administrative History

The American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) was founded in 1958 by Dr. Ethel Percy Andrus, a retired high school principal. AARP was originally named the National Retired Teachers Association and was formed because of the lack of health insurance provided for retired teachers at that time. Dr. Andrus heard from thousands more about how they could not obtain health insurance, and she then formed a group for all American seniors. AARP turned into a international organization in 1963 when offices were created in Lausanne, Switzerland. The mission of the AARP is: "AARP is dedicated to enhancing quality of life for all as we age. We lead positive social change and deliver value to members through information, advocacy and service."
