The National Active Retirement Association (NARA) is an informational clearinghouse and networking organization for those interested in learning more about the trends and opportunities in the baby boomer, empty nester and retirement industries. The oldest baby boomer is now 62, old enough for early Social Security! Over 80 million boomers will be moving into their 60s and 70s in the next 20 years, bringing savings, pensions, equity and trillions in inheritance. Notice The Stones or Motown tunes on more TV commercials lately? Advertisers are tuning into the fact that the boomer market IS WHERE THE MONEY IS!

Consumer marketers, advertisers, developers, designers, active adult and empty nester community operators and owners, service providers, homebuilders and many more businesses see the coming Age Wave as an incredible opportunity. Likewise, states and towns are digging in to aggressively compete to attract relocating boomers and retirees to their region. They bring investment, spendable income and great educations/experience that can have an enormous positive impact on a region or community.

NARA was originally formed as the Carolinas Active Retirement Community (CARA) in 2000. After nine conferences and hundreds of presenters and attendees from across the country, the annual NARA conference continues to draw raving reviews! Come join us for our 2008 Annual Conference at the beautiful new oceanfront Hilton Resort Myrtle Beach on October 1 – 3. Come learn and network with us!
