(Re)Introducing Mary O’Donnell, RRF Foundation for Aging’s New President

In June, Mary O’Donnell became the third president of RRF Foundation for Aging in its forty-year history.  Mary has been with RRF (formerly The Retirement Research Foundation) since 2009, most recently serving as vice president.  Earlier in 2020, RRF launched a new strategic direction which builds upon the Foundation’s strong legacy and charts a bold, new course for the future.

While the current pandemic prevents her from getting out and meeting with grantees and partners face-to- face, we invite you to get to know a little about Mary and RRF’s new direction through this short video. In it, you’ll learn about Mary’s background, what led her to the essential work of improving the lives of older people, and her vision for RRF in the months and years to come.
