In 2008 the AARC implemented a member feature called Demographic Snapshots.   Developed by board member, Dr. Gene Warren, Snapshots is a tool to assist in the study of local market areas.  Five levels of snapshots are offered: 1) Population; 2) Households; 3) Changes in Population and Households; 4) Estimated Income comparing the local area to state and national incomes; and, 5) Migration comparing the local area to state and national patterns. 

All analyses are for the age cohorts of 55-64, the pre-retiree market; ages 65-74 the young retiree market and age 85 plus the senior retiree market.

If you haven’t tried Demographic Snapshots, plan to attend the Fall Conference.  Mr. Davin Miller will be making a presentation on how to use this tool to examine the market potential for a proposed moderate income retiree development.

The AARC Board is pleased to announce that the registration fee for the 2008 conference in Savannah will be $350.  Given the advanced planning the AARC has been able to do and the very favorable fee for the conference facility, the Board is confident that it can provide the same high quality program this year for last year's price.

The conference planning committee has set the fall conference location for Savannah, GA.  The date for the conference is November 5-7, so mark those dates on your calendar now.

"The AARC welcomed the opportunity to come to the east coast for its fall conference.  In the past three years we have been in the mid-west, Tunic, and the west, San Antonio and Las Vegas.  We felt it was time we moved back east for our annual conference," said Wade Adler, current ARRC Chairperson and Chair of the Conference Planning Committee. Savannah has great airport and inter-state access.
