Program Description:
Thanks to the baby boomer generation, the number of senior citizens is growing rapidly. As the boomer population reaches age 65, the senior population is projected to reach 83.7 million - almost double the estimated number in 2012, and approximately twenty percent of the total US population. Roughly 10,000 people will turn 65 every day for the next 20 years!* This increasing elderly population has and will necessitate more senior legal representation.
With a rapidly growing senior population, there is no better time to be a part of this practice area. And CBA-CLE is your essential source for advancing your knowledge, cultivating relationships and sharpening the skills necessary to work with and on behalf of our elders.
