We invite you to join us for our August Healthy Aging Briefing webinar.

Our presenters will be Helen Dennis and Bernice Bratter, authors of the new bestselling book, Project Renewment: The First Retirement Model for Career Women. (Simon & Schuster/Scribner, 2008).

Helen is a nationally recognized expert on issues involving aging, employment, and retirement. Bernice is an expert on women’s issues and a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who as served as Executive Director of the Center for Healthy Aging and President of the Los Angeles Women’s Foundation.

Helen and Bernice provide a driving force behind the national “Project Renewment” movement – a growing community of women’s groups where career women may gather and explore in a non-judgmental, supportive setting the issues, challenges and opportunities they see ahead of them for the next 30 years of their lives.

Our Healthy Aging Briefing Series has offered presentations before on attracting and serving Boomers. And we’ve explored the issues and challenges in serving men. Now, it’s time to think about these issues from the unique perspective of career women.

Take-away points will include:

• What aging service professionals should know about this cohort as a potential target group for services as well as a resource to aging services.
• How these considerations and realities will affect us personally as professionals looking forward to our own next chapter.
• Strategies that can provide a resource for career women while engaging a new population of Boomers within aging services.

Whether you already offer programs serving career women or are simply curious how this might fit into your organization’s plans for the future, we invite you to participate in this online workshop. After Helen and Bernice present, there will be time for your questions and comments.
