ENRICH LIFE OVER 50 was created to achieve three goals:
Change the national mindset from one that is pervasively negative about people 50 and older (50+) to one that is positive and recognizes the ability of multiple millions of people 50+ to remain actively engaged for their own benefit, and the benefit of the country's economic growth.
Integrate people 50+ more effectively into the economic and social fabric of America. There are more than 112 million people in the U.S. who are 50+, one-third of the total population. Multiple millions of them are sitting on the sidelines and relying on entitlement programs but are ready and qualified to continue adding value in a variety of ways.
Stimulate people 50+ to recognize that active aging will enhance the quality of their lives, result in greater satisfaction with life and better health, and add four-five years to their longevity.
Many of these people have what we call DoubleESP™, an acronym we created and trademarked for Experience, Expertise, Seasoned judgment and Proven performance. The mission of Enrich Life Over 50 (ELO50) is to stimulate the active engagement of people 50+ in a broad range of activities page (a representative sample is listed on the Active Engagement) that would add value to their lives and also contribute to the larger world.
What We Have to Offer
ELO50 plans to create a network of chapters in major cities throughout the U.S., each of which will hold four meetings per year that are focused on the Seven Pillars of Aging SuccessfullyTM and related topics, participation in special-interest groups that meet several times each year on topics selected by the members, and the opportunity to build relationships with like-minded people 50+ in their geographic area and beyond.
Learn MoreWhat is Active Aging?
Active aging is a process by which people 50+ are stimulated to engage in a broad range of activities that add value to their extended lifespans, their families, and the larger world. It will contribute to living longer, attaining a greater satisfaction with life and enjoying better health than their counterparts who simply move to the sidelines.

Walking provides impetus to ponder. My 65th birthday was hovering. I was not feeling old, but sixty-five? That’s major! Why I chose to walk the beach on a frigid winter afternoon is questionable; however with boots crunching on the frozen sand, gloved hands balled into my pockets, I reviewed my six-odd decades. Married at nineteen, three children by twe…Read More
