Marguerite
A. O'Connor PC, CSA Glenview, Il., completed a comprehensive course on
priority senior issues on May 8, 2003. The course is conducted by the
Society of Certified Senior Advisors®, a national organization that
has trained over 8,000 professionals in all 50 states and the District
of Columbia. Successful
participants complete a thorough examination to earn the Certified
Senior
Advisor, CSA designation. Ms. O'Connor has taken this educational
initiative
to become a professional leader in meeting the key needs and issues
concerning
senior citizens.
Professionals in the fields of medicine, insurance, investments and
recreation require a broad spectrum of information to serve the needs
of seniors. Be they financial, medical or social, senior concerns are
different from other age groups. The Society of Certified Senior
Advisors keeps the professional abreast of all these issues by
providing education, monthly updates, support and marketing assistance
regarding new developments, practices and research about senior
citizens.
In the history of the world, two-thirds of all people who have lived
past the age of 65 are alive today. In the United States, seniors
(age
65 and older) number 35 million and will continue to increase, leading
a
shift in population distribution by age never before seen. This
demographic
shift requires an educated response in how professionals work with the
challenges and opportunities seniors face.
As a Certified Senior Advisor, Ms. O'Connor will participate annually
in continuing education provided by the Society. The CSA membership
will ensure that she remains an informed professional for senior
citizens.
