2007 Conference Update

The inaugural ENVIRONMENTS FOR AGING in Baltimore, MD was attended by about 300 professionals from the U.S., Canada, and the Far East.  Attendees shared a general sense and excitement that it was a coming together of "like-minded" individuals who have a vision for the future and will be instrumental in helping shape it.

Key themes discussed during the two days included addressing the different expectations and needs the current and future generations of aging adults (i.e., WWII, Boomers, Gen X); creating affordable products, housing, and transportation that support independence and facilitate involvement in social and civic activities; and establishing public-private partnerships to help make all of this happen.

CHD and Vendome will be offering webinars from selected ENVIRONMENTS FOR AGING.07 presentations later this year.
