There are a lot of senior housing and aging services professionals in a whole bunch of different professional sectors from journalism to technology to health care to development, but there are few online resourcs to bring them together. I want to share with you a new resource called Mature Market Experts. It’s a free networking group connecting investors, bankers, real estate developers, consumer goods companies, health care professionals, journalists and marketing experts who are interested in serving the senior marketplace. In short, if you serve, market to, or write about people who are 50+, this is the group for you. The goal of this group is to help members: - Reach other members of Mature Market Experts - Accelerate networking/careers/business through referrals from Mature Market Experts members - Know more than a name - view rich professional profiles from fellow Mature Market Experts Group members To join, go to group founder and moderator Tom Mann’s LinkedIn profile, http://www.linkedin.com/in/trmannconsulting and scroll down until you see the Mature Market Experts badge. Just click on it and send an email explaining that you’d like to join and what your connection is to the 50+ marketplace. In addition, the group has a blog (http://maturemarketexperts.wordpress.com/). The goal of the blog is to keep you up to date with current senior trends and profession news and serve as a collection point for profession related events. Contributors will include: -Mark Miller writes Retire Smart, a weekly newspaper column syndicated by Tribune Media Services, and publishes RetirementRevised, the online companion to the column. He also has a wonderful blog 50+ Digital. - Dan Rexford, Partner, Equity Partners Inc. Dan is the former Executive Vice President of Marketing at Erickson Retirement Communities, with over 18 years in the retirement community industry. -Jodi Rudick, author. Jodi is putting the finishing touches on a book to be published by Human Kinetics focused on programming/marketing recreation services to baby boomers. - Tom Mann, President, TR Mann Consulting, which is an independent marketing consulting firm focused on real estate, media and the senior marketplace. His clients include 50+ communities, health care companies and media outlets, including GRAND, a magazine written for today’s active grandparents. I also will occasionally contribute, and the group is also looking for bloggers from other areas to contribute (i.e. doctors, bankers, social workers, etc.) If you are interested, contact Tom Mann at trmann@verizon.net.
