Renewment®: A Retirement Model for Career Women with Dorian Mintzer and Helen Dennis
This is a story about Renewment®, a word Helen Dennis and her co-founder, Bernice Bratter, made up. The word is a combination of retirement and renewal. So, what is it? It is a small movement, process, and forum that inspires and supports career women from work to retirement…and beyond. Over the past 25 years, 35 to 40 small in-person renewment forums spread virally across the country, concentrating in Southern California, where Bernice and Helen live. Groups have lasted anywhere from 2 to 25 years, most often meeting in someone’s home.
Since the pandemic, they formed virtual renewment roundtables talking about topics and issues related to transition and change, and relevant to our life stages, with roughly 100 women across the country participating. Again, this has been viral growth.
Renewment groups have addressed topics such as “Who am I without my business card?” and “What does productivity mean at this life stage?” A common characteristic of all renewment women is that they are not satisfied with the status quo for themselves or their communities.
In this program, you'll discover:
- The most important issues facing later-life career women
- The impact of renewment, and some intended and unintended consequences.
Note: Much of the content is also relevant to men. Yet, since the work trajectories for the boomer and silent generations are somewhat different for men and women, we have focused on women.
