He is a founding and still active board member of At Home in Darien and currently serves on the Darien Commission on Aging and the board of directors of the Connecticut Retirement Security Authority. He has also been an AARP state and national volunteer since 2007. “I am so thankful to all the caregivers and care receivers who have trained and inspired me,” Eder said. “Individually and collectively, they have defined for me ‘the common good.’ It is on their behalf that I joyfully accept this honor.”
