Seminar: Health, Lifestyle, Medicare & Retirement

Description

The Lubbock Chamber of Commerce and FirstCare Health Plans are partnering to host a free informational seminar focused on today’s changing attitudes towards work, health and overall lifestyle as professionals look forward to retirement on Tues., Sept. 15, from 9 a.m.-12 p.m., at the Texas Tech McKenzie-Merket Alumni Center.

Are you retired? Are you planning for retirement or a second career? Do you have employees, customers or family who are approaching retirement age? If so, then this half-day seminar is for you.

The keynote speech entitled “Work Long and Prosper in the New Retirement Workscape” will be presented by Erin McInrue, Director of Research at Age Wave. McInrue plays a key role in conceptualizing and co-leading acclaimed national thought-leadership studies that illuminate how aging, longevity and retirement shape the marketplace, the workplace and our lives.

These landmark studies cover a breadth of topics, including the role and impact of health as we live longer lives, financial priorities to and through retirement, shifting intergenerational family dynamics, and the myths and motivations regarding work and retirement. The innovative insights from this body of work have been featured in leading print and electronic media, including The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, CNBC, The Huffington Post, CBS MoneyWatch, PBS, and the Today show.

Topics such as Medicare and Social Security will also be discussed. Attendees will have the opportunity to visit with participating exhibitors as well.

The seminar is free to attend but an RSVP is required. To register for this event, please visit LubbockChamber.com or call (806) 761-7000 to reserve your spot. The deadline to RVSP is noon on Tues., Sept. 8.
