AARP Florida recently named Rima Nathan, director of Florida State University’s Claude Pepper Elder Law Clinic, a “Florida Fraud Fighter” of distinction at its Opening Minds Through Art event on June 21.

The Florida Fraud Fighter award honors the “dedication of individuals who are actively working to combat the scourge of scams and fraud targeting Floridians of all ages.” This year, AARP offices across the country are honoring law enforcement officers, lawmakers, state officials, and community nonprofits who are engaged in keeping people and their money safe with similar Community Fraud Fighter awards.
