Shared Database Work Group supports 2011 survey

Dr. Richard LindsayA special thank you and congratulations are extended to the ODP Shared Database Work Group for their extensive efforts on the 2011 Virginia Age Ready Indicators Benchmark Survey.

Led by Work Group Chair and ODP founding member Dr. Richard Lindsay, the Shared Database Work Group coordinated the primary and secondary research for the survey. These experts on aging identified the key indicators among Virginia’s Seniors and Boomers as having the most importance and relevance to
Virginia’s age wave preparedness: caregiving, civic and community engagement, finances, health and well-being, housing, transportation and mobility, and workforce. They also developed and approved the survey questionnaire.
