Summarize your professional background relevant to Age Wave preparedness.
A ‘cusper’ between Boomer and Gen X, I work for an organization that represents the broadest range of businesses and industries.
What expertise or other strengths do you bring to the Older Dominion Partnership?
What do you believe are the most pressing issues in Age Wave-preparedness in Virginia today?
The issue is being crowded out by the poor economy and international issues.
What advice do you have for age wave planning in Virginia?
Find the right time and the right message to engage business on the issue. Businesses, in general, are short-sighted compared to these types of issues. Likewise, their profit-orientation means that they will pay more attention to an issue if they see the revenue gain or cost containment fairly easily.
