AARP Georgia Recognizes Tom Umstead

Tom Umstead of Sandy Springs has been selected by AARP, the nonprofit organization for people 50 and older, to receive the 2016 AARP Georgia Andrus Award for Community Service, the association’s most prestigious and visible state volunteer award for community service.

AARP Georgia selected Umstead for his remarkable service, which has greatly benefited his community, supported AARP’s vision and mission and inspired other volunteers. For many years now, he has found a way local businesses could partner with non-profits to truly impact the lives of the people they serve including seniors, children and families. He encouraged others to volunteer and they followed his example.

“This award acts as a symbol to the public that we can all work together for positive social change,” says Debra Tyler-Horton, AARP Georgia State Director.

The annual ball is designed to encourage seniors to stay active and healthy through community programs and outreach initiatives, and salutes seniors for their commitment, service and leadership to the Atlanta community.

“Our senior residents are the jewels of the city of Atlanta and they are deserving of a celebration each year which recognizes their commitment, achievements and contributions to our wonderful city,” said Mayor Reed. “It was such an honor to pay tribute last evening to the men and women who laid the foundation for our great city to thrive.”
