Erickson Chairman and CEO to Discuss Retirement Community Development
The Cornell Real Estate Industry seminar welcomes John Erickson, Founder and CEO of Erickson Retirement Communities, to campus this Thursday. Erickson's privately held company, Erickson Retirement Communities, is the fastest-growing developer and manager of full-service, campus-style communities in the country. Mr. Erickson also established perhaps the first health-and-wellness-oriented research institution, the Erickson Foundation, to evolve from the U.S. retirement housing industry. Under his direction, the Erickson Foundation has invested millions in research to improve the lives of people around the world.
In April 2004, John helped establish the Erickson School—Aging, Management and Policy, which is located at the University of Maryland in Baltimore County (UMBC). The goal of the school is to become the preeminent resource for education, research, and policy on services for the mid-life and older populations. Mr. Erickson’s company has also expanded into the world of media with the introduction of Retirement Living TV, which aims to provide a new voice to a generation largely ignored by the television industry and change the way retired life is perceived.
