Are you a business owner who is interested in learning more about the business of aging?
SERC is committed to working with small to medium sized businesses to design and/or modify products and services to meet the changing needs and interests of an aging population.
SERC has established a Business of Aging: Information Exchange Network (BA:IEN)) that provides a forum for business and industry leaders to come together to discuss business opportunities and to share information and ideas about diversifying their markets and expanding their focus to benefit older consumers.
Over the past few months, we had the opportunity to analyze feedback provided by attendees at two breakfast meetings and, as a result, we have developed a membership program that we believe addresses the interests of a range of stake holders.
The BA:IEN membership program will offer members an opportunity to connect with business leaders and organizations that are interested in understanding and serving older consumers effectively and profitably. For an annual membership fee of $50, members will be provided with opportunities to share information, ideas, resources and best practices. You will also have the opportunity to attend exclusive special presentations, events and keynote speakers focusing on relevant issues regarding the business of aging.
