As growth-minded non-profit leaders watch the boomer wave swell the ranks of income-qualified prospects in their markets, it’s time to ask three critical questions:
- Will tomorrow’s boomers want to live in today’s concept of a Life Plan Community?
- What should new communities look like?
- What can we do to transform our existing communities?
In our sixth annual “A Look Ahead” webinar, we explored how to create the community of tomorrow, so we can meet the growing needs of our markets while sustaining our missions. This interactive session brought together thought leaders to provide insights into how and why the traditional Life Plan Community needs to evolve, examples of what these changes can look like and steps you can take to start exploring this transformation at your own organization.
