Moving active aging past the tipping point

With the mutual goal of building a strong foundation to support active aging, more than 300 ICAA colleagues spent 3 days at the 2005 Active Aging Conference, held in December at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. Surrounded by those who shared a mission to benefit older adults within the 6 dimensions of wellness, conference participants:

• talked with peers and presenters, sharing experiences and asking questions;
• absorbed technical education on subjects ranging from positioning marketing materials and creating age-friendly messages, to developing wellness and wellness centers, and understanding exercises for overall health or chronic disease; and
• discovered and experienced many products and services available to wellness and recreation centers.
