Jose Roberto Acaron Rodriguez

José Roberto tiene más de 35 años de experiencia en trabajo comunitario dirigiendo organizaciones sin fines de lucro en Puerto Rico. Ejerció por 15 años como director ejecutivo de la Asociación de la Distrofia Muscular (MDA) para Puerto Rico. Hacer 20 años José R. Acarón lidera la misión de AARP como director estatal en Puerto Rico, una organización sin fines de lucro y no partidista con alrededor de 100 mil miembros en Puerto Rico que impulsa la transformación social y el desarrollo económico a través de la integración y participación social de la población mayor de 50 años.

Con sus raíces en el mercadeo se destaca como un comprometido y energético promotor de la transformación e innovación social y su pasión por la integración y participación de todos en nuestra sociedad. Ha emprendido iniciativas de innovación social y económica que han impactado varios sectores: comunitarios, académicos, económicos, salubristas, y gubernamentales.

Con fuertes alianzas a nivel público y privado, desde AARP lucha por la equidad social y combate las disparidades y constructos sociales que aquejan nuestro entorno social, familiar y comunitario.

Su enfoque va dirigido a la educación, el empoderamiento de la comunidad y la promoción y ejecución de política pública certera para mejorar la calidad de vida de todos a través de la vida con resiliencia financiera, salud y bienestar y en entornos habitables.

Durante los últimos 20 años en AARP, ha aportado una visión relevante de un Puerto Rico de equidad a través de más de 24 diferentes comisiones gubernamentales y comités comunitarios. Bajo su liderazgo, AARP ha logrado comenzar la transformación del marco legal de cómo se vive después de los 50 y aprobar más de 30 proyectos de ley para mejorar la vida de todos los puertorriqueños de todas las edades.
