"Turning Silver into Gold" 
2012 Luncheon Series to Kick Off with a "Boom!"

On February 9, 2012, John Martin, CEO of the Boomer Project, will join us as the speaker for the first professional development speaker in 2012. His presentation, "Turning Silver into Gold: New Rules for Effectively Communicating to Baby Boomers,"  will help communicators and marketers craft messages that target the Baby Boomers.

The first boomers turned 65 in 2011. With about 11,000 boomers to have reached this important milestone, now is the time for companies, organizations, communities and every Baby Boomer to get ready! For more information or to read more, click here.

  This luncheon is sponsored by National College.
