The Real Demographics of Baby Boomers - A very special generation or just typical old people?

Dr. Russell James​ III

friDAY, OCTOBER 19, 10:00 A.M. – 11:00 a.M.

 

In this irreverent and entertaining session, Dr. James reviews nationally representative data on Baby Boomers and their planned giving. Beyond simple statistics, this session demonstrates that demographic realities should change how and when you communicate planned giving information to Boomers. If you want a session based on hard data that goes beyond "just so" stories with obligatory pictures of Woodstock, Vietnam, and Neil Armstrong, then this is the place for you!
