Barry Rand, 64, who grew up in segregated Washington, is back as an agent of change. Service to others was an important part of his upbringing, he says.
A. Barry Rand has had a long, successful career as the man in the grey flannel suit. But when he looks in the mirror, he sees “a son of the ’60s.”
“My life has always been about service and social change,” Rand says.
That’s what AARP, the nation’s leading advocacy group for people age 50 and older, was looking for when it tapped Rand, a former Xerox executive and civic leader, to succeed William Novelli as CEO.
