| FH Boom Daily Digest – September 7, 2010 Posted: 07 Sep 2010 05:46 AM PDT Top News From Today's "Boomiverse" Miami' s homeless boomers: An escalating reality Overview: "An unfeigned endemic … is the occurrence of older adults finding themselves homeless. In Miami and surrounding South Florida counties, there exist daily episodes of our aging citizens ending up on the streets. Unlike our resilient youth, an older person encounters nearly insurmountable challenges when attempting to rebound toward stabilization." In midlife, they're unexpectedly single Overview: "Engaged twice but never married, Carmen Morris didn't expect she would be single at midlife. Nor did Larry Alpert, who divorced more than two decades ago. Nor Karen Bolea, widowed in 1997."" How Many Boomer Women Have Seats At Your Table? Overview: "I read an interesting article in Slate last week about the impact of now having three women (all Boomer women, naturally) on the Supreme Court. It cited a Wellesley study on the role and voice of women on corporate boards. That study found a critical difference in the way women affect those boards based on the number of women on the board; everything changed when the group finally included at least three women. It appears that the voice of each woman is more clearly heard when the question of whether women deserve a hearing at that table itself is resolved; the individual women no longer feel they have to justify their seat at the table. They can finally act like men always have." |
