Age Friendly Business

Age-Friendly Business Event: May 24th

Portland is known as a great place to be an older adult. We have great transit, progressive city planning, and are well-known for being community-minded.

Join research experts and business leaders to discuss how current demographic shifts mean big things for our local economy – and your business!

 

Claudia Knotek of New Seasons and

Alan DeLaTorre of Portland State University’s Institute on Aging

will discuss why being “age-friendly” is good business.

Complimentary beer and snacks provided.

Hour-long presentation begins at 6pm.

Help make Multnomah County more age friendly!
Even if you missed the live Age Friendly Multnomah County forums*, you can still watch the presentations from the forums and help guide county policy and service delivery by taking the Age Friendly Forums survey. Your input is valuable as it will be presented directly to the county department management, as well as to the county commissioners during current and future Board of County Commissioners meetings.
*The live forums in Gresham and Portland featured presenters from the Departments of Health and Human Services who described the current status of county age friendly services and their hopes for the future.
