Cover Story: Featuring our current
SHIIP Director, Beth Moore
Meet our dedicated SHIIP volunteers & Become a volunteer
Michelle Byler, honored for her service as Outstanding Support Group Facilitator Champion of the Year!
I started my role as a SHIIP volunteer nine years ago after my wife and I retired. At the time, our daughter was the SHIIP director. SHIIP was looking
to recruit and expand the role of volunteers. I wanted to contribute something to my community, so I signed up. I continued my work as a SHIIP volunteer after our daughter left SHIIP. I believe the Medicare Minutes material is useful and I enjoy the interaction with people at the two Senior Centers I serve, Wilson Senior Center in Perryville , T. C. and Vaughn Senior Center in Morrilton.
Sharing Medicare Minutes information is rewarding and it provides valuable information to seniors. As I’ve become acquainted with some of the regulars at the Centers, I enjoy one-on-one interaction before and after the Medicare Minutes presentation. Because of all the information I’ve learned as a SHIIP volunteer over the years, I am often able to answer questions asked by seniors at the centers.
Michelle Byler, with Northwest Arkansas Area Agency on Aging, was
selected as Outstanding Support Group Facilitator Champion of the Year by
Alzheimer’s Arkansas, at its Fifth Annual Champions Gala on March 23,
2017. Michelle serves seniors in need as a Family Caregiver Specialist for
the Northwest AAA in Harrison, and leads a monthly Caregiver Support
Group. We are proud to include Northwest AAA as a SHIIP Partner, and
extend our congratulations to the well-deserving Michelle!
Each year Alzheimer’s Arkansas honors three outstanding individuals as
Champions for their tireless dedication and support to families affected by
Alzheimer’s disease. This year’s event, held at the Marriott Hotel in Little Rock, raised about
$213,000 which will benefit the organization's programs and services, and includes
educational workshops, financial assistance and 24/7 help for caregivers all across Arkansas.
CONGRATULATIONS to MICHELLE BYLER, NW Area Agency on Aging!
