Our guest speaker at our luncheon at 1130 on Thursday, 30 June, at the Oahu Veterans’ Center, is Maui-born Kaneohe resident Gerry Silva, president of AARP Hawaii. He
will discuss Hawaii legislative issues related to seniors, retirement and healthcare.
During the past year Silva has served as AARP lead volunteer and spokesperson of You’ve Earned a Say, an initiative engaging hundreds of Ha
waii residents on the future of Social Security and Medicare. In that capacity he has spoken at 40 community events state-wide, meeting hundreds of members and older
residents from Lihue to Hilo.
Silva is a retired Army colonel who served for over a decade as Chief of Staff of the Hawaii Army National Guard. Other highlights of his professional career include
executive positions in federal, state and county agencies in Hawaii. In 2009 he retired as Chief Operating Officer of Olelo Community Television. Prior to that he was
