Portland/Vancouver
Monthly Marketing Update- May 2024

April was an incredibly busy month for our team as we crossed the country: Washington DC to
support Alzheimer’s Advocacy with Congressional meetings, Nashville for the National Case Management Conference, ongoing CEU events in multiple cities, Adult Care Home Conference in Oregon, our Puget Sound Release Party - all in addition to our regular commitments. WHEW! I am so grateful to work with such a talented and committed team.

I am honored that 50% of our existing sponsors have already reserved their ad space for the next edition. This may seem early- but it is a great way to secure better placement in the guide, and ensure Retirement Connection is part of your 2025 marketing budget. Last month we hosted a resource fair for Adventist Medical Center; we have one in May for PeaceHealth, and we are working to get two scheduled for Kaiser Permanente this summer. Our sponsors will be sent the link for priority registration before these events are open to others.

As a reminder- Retirement Connection is the most comprehensive resource for seniors in our community, and we are the official resource for Legacy Hospitals, the Alzheimer’s Association, and several Area Agencies on Aging. If you want to reach seniors, this is the preferred guide. Additionally, beyond print, we have 2 websites that search very well on Google, and host many networking opportunities throughout the year. Our logo's 3 “dots” represent the guide, websites, and network.

Nugget Of Knowledge
"Work hard, play hard"

Finding work-life balance can be a challenge. I find the best balance comes from really enjoying the work you do, being proud of your efforts, and having strong relationships with your team. If you can find this, it doesn’t seem like work. My work family makes every day better, from our team camping trips to strategic planning.
