This workshop is designed to help you:

* Look at what your organization does?and needs?in a whole new way
* Create compelling paid and unpaid opportunities to meet your needs
* Understand more about who “the boomers” are and what they want and need
* Learn what our region’s 1.5 million people age 50+ can do for you
* Have more impact, meet more of your mission, and get more done!

The session will take a comprehensive approach to exploring how to “optimize your workforce” (both paid and unpaid) by tapping into the richness of the resources that boomers and others 50+ have to offer.

It will include:

* Dynamic new ideas for managing your workforce (staff, volunteers, and consultants)
* Creative activities to help you develop compelling opportunities
* An exploration of incentives to attract and retain people age 50+
* Information on promising practices in creating and managing boomer involvement
* Case studies of programs that have had unusual success in involving people 50+
