Cyndi Cummings, founder of the Austin Senior Resource Alliance (ASRA), announced today that Austin’s First Annual Seniors Awards Luncheon in Celebration of National Senior Citizen’s Day will be held on August 21, 2014 at 11 a.m.

“Despite demographic shifts toward an aging population, our culture remains largely focused on youth,” Cummings noted.

As such, she is distinctly qualified to assist members the mature market with all of the complexities involved in late-in-life transitions.

“Fully 10,000 members of the Baby Boom generation – the largest demographic block in the history of the United States – are now turning 65 every day,” Cummings noted. “Considering that one in every four sellers is over the age of 65, according to research conducted by the National Association of REALTORs®, it’s clear that the rapidly growing seniors population merits heightened attention from the real estate industry, as well as every segment of society.”
