How do we prioritize multi-sensory engagement with nature in decisions both about the design of our built environment and the ongoing operation of senior communities? Join Jennifer and Max as we talk to 3 great guests – Bill Browning, Kirsten Jacobs, and Tammy Marshall – about their experiences in creating and managing environments for older adults that enhance connections with the natural world.
First, we speak with Bill Browning, one of the green building and real estate industry’s foremost thinkers and strategists, and an advocate for sustainable design solutions at all levels of business, government, and civil society. In 2006, Bill founded Terrapin Bright Green to craft high-performance environmental strategies for corporations, governments, and large-scale real estate developments. Previously, in 1991, he founded Green Development Services at the Rocky Mountain Institute, an entrepreneurial, non-profit “think and do tank.” Past roles include Director of Design and Environment for Haymount, VA, co-founder of Browning+Bannon LLC, founding member of the USGBC Board of Directors, and Chair of USGBC’s Governance Committee. He is a co-author of several books and publications including most recently Nature Inside: A Biophilic Design Guide.
Next, we talk to Kirsten Jacobs, who leads dementia and wellness education strategy at LeadingAge, including enhancing existing external/internal relationships and identifying areas of potential growth. She develops wellness, dementia and related content for conferences and other education efforts, including distance learning. She provides thought leadership around wellness and dementia to various audiences, including speaking/presenting at conferences and delivering technical assistance to members.
Finally, we speak with Tammy Marshall. Tammy is president & CEO of Biophilia Pharma, where she focuses on the healing power between nature and humans. Previously, she served as the first woman Chief Experience Officer in the country for ageing services, the first woman to sit on Thrive Senior Living’s vision team, and the first VP of Strategic Planning for one of New York’s largest long-term care systems. She previously served as chief experience officer at a New York City-based senior care nonprofit called the New Jewish Home, where she led an effort in boosting person-centered care. Marshall keynotes around the globe on the topics of ageism, woman in leadership, integrative health and civil rights for those living with changing cognitive abilities, sometimes known as Alzheimer’s and Dementia. She is known for her published work on leadership, dementia care, designing environments for older adults and strategic planning.
