Industry leaders target staffing issues

As part of ongoing efforts to develop the active aging industry, the International Council on Active Aging® (ICAA) brings together invited industry leaders every year to discuss mutual challenges. The association supports professionals who develop wellness and fitness facilities and services for adults over 50, and believes that unifying organizations focused on older adults benefits both the elders they reach, as well as the organizations themselves. One avenue for such collaboration is the annual Strategy Sessions. Delegates to these meetings form a think tank—a group of people who work on a common problem—not only to identify issues facing many organizations but, as importantly, to recommend solutions.
