Independence Starts Here LogoKeys to Quality Customer Service for Seniors and Patrons with Disabilities
with Mimi Kenney Smith
Tuesday, April 20
9:00 -11:00am
FREE. Continental Breakfast provided.


Serving senior audiences and customers with disabilities provides significant opportunities for the cultural community.  According to a 1998 Department of Labor statistic, more than 20 million families in the U.S. have at least one member with a disability. The estimated buying power for people with disabilities is over a trillion dollars and seniors with disabilities control up to 40% of the personal assets in America. Yet, when speaking with patrons with disabilities, their primary concern is not for the quality of the ramp or the captioning; it is for the quality of the customer service.  This seminar will provide the keys to making sure that all customers are treated with respect and that first-time customers become long-term patrons.

This workshop is presented by Independence Starts Here, a communitywide cultural-access initiative led by VSA Arts of Pennsylvania and Art-Reach in partnership with the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance and Philadel
phia Corporation for Aging as part of Celebrate Arts & Aging.
