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 a63+nd 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

As the hub of the Indianapolis Public Library system, Central Library showcases renowned architecture and services. The original 1917 building, designed by Paul Cret and constructed of Indiana limestone in the Greek Doric style, was considered one of the most outstanding secular buildings in the U.S. Its six-story glass and steel-framed addition, designed by Evans Woollen, opened in 2007.
