Are you an active-ager or dedicated to serving the vibrant 50+ community? If so, we invite you to join us in exploring the concept of the "longevity dividend" and its transformative impact on society's perspective on aging. 

In Central Indiana, individuals over 50 constitute the fastest-growing demographic segment. Compared to previous generations, a 65-year-old can anticipate over 20 additional years of life. As Americans embrace longer and healthier lives, we must ask crucial questions:

  • Systemic Adjustments: How do we need to adjust our systems, policies, and cultural biases to align with this extended lifespan?
  • Societal Dynamics: What does it mean to live and age in a society where 1/3 of the population is over age 65?
  • Seizing Opportunities: What opportunities and potential does the "longevity dividend" hold for you? 

This event is presented by Dr. Ellen Miller, the immediate retired director of the University of Indianapolis's Center on Aging and Community, and Barb Richardson, the Founding Director of Indy Encore, a community nonprofit organization dedicated to leveraging the energy and experience of individuals 50+ who seek meaningful opportunities.

Join us to explore the exciting possibilities and challenges brought forth by the "longevity dividend" and its impact on shaping a society that values and maximizes the potential of every age group.

This activity will include clips from National Public Television's film "Coming of Age in Aging America."

About the branch

This branch has served the Irvington community since 1903 when the Bona Thompson Library was donated to Butler College and soon became a public library branch. Following relocations in 1914 and 1921, a new facility was built on East Washington Street in 1956 and named for Irvington’s distinguished citizen, Hilton U. Brown. The Brown Branch closed its doors in 2001 to make way for the current 16,000-square-foot Irvington Branch that opened later that year.
