MONTGOMERY—Generation America, a dynamic national organization representing conservative senior citizens retained Conwell Hooper to lead its national state advocacy efforts. Mr. Hooper has served as a lobbyist and consultant to a wide range of senior organizations, Fortune 500 companies, as well as prominent state and national corporations and trade associations.
Generation America was founded to preserve traditional family values, seek a more efficient government, fight for personal freedom and deliver safety, security and well-being for its membership. With members in all 50 states, Generation America offers a conservative advocacy agenda for its members, outstanding benefits, discounts and first rate services.
According to senior advocate and volunteer, Joan McCormick, ”Conwell Hooper is the greatest thing that has ever happened in Alabama for its senior citizens. He has an amazing track record with Alabama’s senior citizens and has a special gift to lead, motivate and activate senior citizens.” Mr. Hooper led the effort for Alabama’s 50 plus population by working to pass legislation giving seniors a discount on their automobile insurance; bringing 26 state agencies together to form the Interagency Council for the Prevention of Elder Abuse; and allowing for a security freeze mechanism to be placed on consumer credit reports. To cap off the 2012 legislative session, his state wide volunteer team helped pass a bill giving developers incentives to build housing for senior citizens and for those with disabilities.
Recognizing his ability with Alabama’s senior citizens, Governor Bentley appointed Mr. Hooper to serve on the board for the Alabama Department of Senior Services. According to Louise Jones, former AARP member and volunteer, “Generation America is coming along at the perfect time. With Generation America’s conservative patriotic views, they are the conservative voice for the 50 plus community and have earned the respect of seniors for their commitment. Generation America is on the Right Side for America.”
