Who We Are

Begun with a generous grant from The Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust, Boomerz mission is to fully engage the talents, energy and experience of boomers to address today’s economic, social, and political concerns. Boomerz believes that boomers can be an ever increasing asset to society rather than a liability, and is committed to making this concept a reality.  

Boomers have a lot to give, but they want to give it in their own way.  they want meaningful opportunities - whether it is volunteering or a second career - on their own terms.  Our outreach programs are designed to get these bright minds focused on positive change in the community - be it local, national, or international.  We empower boomers to think differently and more creatively than previous generations about mid-life options and provide a catalyst for action.

Board of Directors/Key Staff

In early 2008, Boomerz became a 501c3, non-profit organization.  In accordance with the new requirements, Boomerz is in the midst of restructuring its former "advisory board" into a formal Board of Directors with different functions and qualifications. Members of the New Board and key staff include: (click here)
