Innovative solutions are required to meet the needs and preferences of all our customers. At The Hartford and Wells Fargo Advisors, we have tapped into the expertise of gerontologists to grow our market and create products and services.

  • Discuss how our companies utilize gerontologists in their strategies and product development
  • Explore two case studies where our skill sets empowered our business to achieve in the market
  • Analyze job offerings to identify opportunities for employment in for-profit industries

Through a joint initiative between the Benjamin Gaither Center, CAAC, Asbury Methodist Village Senior Living Community, and Art Against Ageism, artists are invited to submit an application for their artwork to be displayed in City of Gaithersburg's art gallery, located within the Benjamin Gaither Center. Two-dimensional (wall hung) works in all media, styles, and techniques are acceptable. 

The goal of this initiative is to celebrate aging, to raise awareness of ageism in society, and advance positive age beliefs. All artwork submitted must reflect one or more of the following themes: positive age beliefs or age positivity, dismantling or tackling ageism, or confronting stereotypes about age and aging. 

Deadline: March 11, 2024

For more information about ageism and the power of positive age beliefs, we suggest taking a look at this article (https://www.ama-assn.org/delivering-care/population-care/how-positive-age-beliefs-can-support-positive-health-outcomes-becca) about research from Becca Levy, PhD. For more information about art that tackles ageism and advances positive age beliefs, please visit the Art Against Ageism Website: https://artagainstageism.org
