Are You Ready to Lead?
NASMM continues to grow and thrive as a result of thoughtful guidance and effective leadership provided by the current and past Boards of Directors. Their collective vision and dedication have helped consumers and senior living providers identify NASMM as the voice of Senior Move Management®.

The NASMM Board of Directors is a governing board — not a managing board. The NASMM Board is not involved in the day-to-day management and operations of NASMM. The NASMM Staff is responsible for association management and operations, as well as membership management, program and service development and implementation. Anyone considering a NASMM Board position must be a "big picture" thinker, along with committing to some time and travel, and ongoing communication with other Board Directors and association staff.

Yes, We "Can!" You Can Still Sign Up for NASMM's Food Drive — Participating is Easy!
Hosting a food drive may seem like an overwhelming project — but it doesn't need to be. If every NASMM member committed to collecting only 100 pounds of food — OR 100 cans of food — we could easily donate 100,000 pounds of food! Move for Hunger makes it easy — simply sign up for the food drive, and Move for Hunger will supply you with the tools you need — and connect you with a moving company that can deliver the collected food to your local food bank!

Participating in NASMM's 2016 Food Drive is a terrific way to gain visibility in your community — please consider joining your fellow NASMM members in this meaningful philanthropic project. More information is available in the Philanthropic Partners section of "MyNASMM." To sign up to participate, click here!

Boomers are Seniors. Really?
Back when I started retiring at age 58 I bristled at being called a senior. I didn’t mind taking a senior discount but please don't call me a senior, especially a senior citizen. I even called the major's office and suggest they named the new center "Active Adult Center" rather than just a "Senior Center" and they agreed and did that. I protested on Facebook that Boomers would never be seniors, we are just different, and need a new name or simply call us Boomers.
