Puget Sound
Monthly Marketing Update- July 2025
The past few months have been some of the busiest of my life, filled with work events, resource fairs, and a lot of travel. I’m grateful to have connected with so many providers at our events and at other industry gatherings throughout the region. We just wrapped up coordinating the Providence Everett Case Management event. Valley Medical is coming up later this month, and we’ll hold the Evergreen event this fall (registration will open soon for our sponsors once the date is confirmed).
As you begin planning your 2026 marketing budgets, please be sure to include Retirement Connection and CareAvailability.com. Most providers finalize their budgets in the coming months, so now is the time to advocate for your marketing goals. Don’t assume your corporate office has already included us—many opportunities, like hospital resource fairs and sponsor-only events, are only available to our partners. We offer a complete marketing package: print, web, and networking.
All guides have now been distributed to hospitals, area agencies on aging, libraries, senior centers, physician offices, and hundreds of other locations throughout the Puget Sound. A huge thank you to our sponsors for making Retirement Connection possible in our community.
The early bird discount has ended, so if you intended to save $300 on your 2026 ad but haven’t yet reserved space, please let me know right away. You don’t need to submit your ad copy or billing details until next year—this is just to lock in your space and secure the discount.

"Balance is not something you find, it's something you create."~ Jana Kingsford
We often hear the phrase “work-life balance.” Even if you love your job and it doesn’t feel like work, there’s still balance to be found in the relationships, the time commitment, and the reward expectations. Our energy is a valuable resource and shouldn’t be wasted on thoughts that don’t contribute to a more balanced life. Give your energy to the moments that bring you the greatest joy.
