Join us for the next SAGE webinar, "Notes from the Field: A SAGE POE of The Spires at Berry College," presented by Amy Carpenter with SFCS Architects, Migette Kaup with Kansas State University, and Leah Cobb with Berry College. This webinar is FREE. Wednesday, September 18, 2024 1 pm ET, noon CT, 11 am MT, 10 am PT SAGE has been conducting post-occupancy evaluations in conjunction with Environments for Aging Conference + Expo for the last several years. SAGE assembles a multidisciplinary team and targets EFA magazine award-winning projects. This year, the SAGE POE team (sponsored by Tarkett) visited the Spires at Berry College, a 2021 EFA Design Showcase Award of Merit winner. Located on the campus of Berry College in Rome, Georgia, residents have easy access to educational and cultural activities and sporting events, and develop unique and meaningful relationships with students and faculty. Through community tours and interviews with residents and staff, the POE team works to determine what is actually working and what could be improved at this unique intergenerational community. This session provides design inspiration and evidence on good design and intergenerational programming practices that attendees can apply to their next project, or even to improve existing conditions.

As part of SAGE's 30th anniversary celebration this year, we are featuring some of the great minds that make SAGE such a fantastic organization. Let's get to know a little more about Shirah Kasongo Cahill, Landscape Architect Manager at SWBR . How long have you been in the senior living industry? 8 years Who or what inspired you to go into the industry? My greatest inspiration has been my grandmother. Watching her thrive in a senior living community, while staying healthy, active, and independent at 97 is what motivates me to stay curious, push for continuous improvement, and bring others along with me. What are you most proud of/what’s the biggest impact you’ve made? I’m most proud of getting others interested in this work. I don’t think young designers are aware of the impact until someone opens their eyes to it. I’m also proud of the successes we’ve had with our affordable housing projects and the positive impact the built environment has had on residents’ quality of life and sense of community. Share something interesting about you...a fun fact! Preferably not work related. We speak Spanish at home even though my husband and I are both not native Spanish speakers, my biggest accomplishment by far is my family, and I have to eat pizza at least once a week or the world just loses its shimmer. Now...let's learn a little more about YOU! Active SAGE members can visit https://lnkd.in/gYhf68vr to share a little about themselves for future Member Spotlights! #seniorliving #greatminds #willbrakeforpizza #sufamiliaessuvida

As part of SAGE's 30th anniversary celebration this year, we are featuring some of the great minds that make SAGE such a fantastic organization. Let's get to know a little more about Steve Lindsey, CEO of Garden Spot Communities. How long have you been in the senior living industry? 25+ years Who or what inspired you to go into the industry? A close relationship with my grandparents, as well as older adults in our church, gave me a genuine appreciation for the impact that can be had in this later season of life, so being able to encourage that sense purpose in life as I serve in this field has been an honor and a blessing. What are you most proud of/what’s the biggest impact you’ve made? Having the opportunity to help cultivate a sense of vibrant community, where people are discovering a renewed sense of purpose and impact has been rewarding. We were blessed to get involved in the person-centered household movement in the early years and were inspired by the impact that environment and culture can have on the lives of people. Share something interesting about you...a fun fact! Preferably not work related. I ran 15 marathons before my knees reminded me that each season of life has its own adventure… still searching for what adventure awaits in this season. Now...let's learn a little more about YOU!
