Info: As the wave of the “Silver Tsunami” transforms our communities, civic engagement becomes more important than ever. Commissioner Quentin Miles will share his vision for turning this demographic shift into an opportunity for deeper connection, stronger collaboration, and greater community contribution. He will speak on how to inspire participation, keep communities informed, and empower older adults to share their wisdom, mentor younger generations, and strengthen civic life. This is not just a conversation about aging—it is a call to build community power across generations and ensure every voice is part of shaping our shared future.

Info: The “Silver Tsunami” — millions of Baby Boomers and Gen Xers entering their prime spending years — is transforming the marketplace. They have the experience, influence, and purchasing power to make or break brands. The question is: are they finding you, or your competitors?

In this powerful 15-minute session, Marketing Director Tamisha Thomas will show you how to flip the script and make them come to you. Using smart, authentic social media strategies, you’ll learn how to attract this market naturally — no gimmicks, no cold pitching, just relationship-based digital marketing that works.

Info: Financial representatives Andreas & Katrese Hutchinson, are dedicated in helping families prepare for life’s uncertainties. The Wall of Wealth isn’t just a display—it’s a symbol of smart financial moves that grow and protect your future. One powerful strategy is repositioning retirement funds into instruments that can work harder for you—offering protection, potential growth, and long-term stability. By making informed choices about where your money lives, you not only safeguard your nest egg but also create opportunities for your financial advisor to guide you toward the right solutions. Each success story on The Wall of Wealth represents someone who took control of their financial future, made strategic decisions, and set a course for lasting legacy.
