North Shore Senior Center launches new website

Updated: April 27, 2012 8:15AM

North Shore Senior Center will officially launch its new website on April 24. Featuring a contemporary and streamlined design, this website will offer seniors and families a user-friendly online experience as they access information about North Shore Senior Center’s various programs and services.

Following a series of “Visioning Sessions” held last Fall at the agency’s headquarters, North Shore Senior Center has adopted the tagline “Celebrating Seniors!” in its print and digital communications, the new website included. The Visioning Sessions were held to help the organization determine how to lay the groundwork for new programs and extended services -- things that will be required to meet the needs of a growing and diverse senior population in the years ahead.

The 103 participants in the Visioning Sessions included North Shore Senior Center members, board, employees, donors, clients and community leaders. Accumulated data from the Visioning Sessions determined that North Shore Senior Center has a public image that is distinguished by its “caring, empathy and upbeat attitude about aging.” The results of the Visioning Sessions were then instrumental in the creation of the new “Celebrating Seniors!” tagline.

North Shore Senior Center’s Computer Learning Center volunteers participated in the pre-launch website testing and will also help members learn to use its features. The Computer Learning Center at the Arthur C. Nielsen, Jr. Campus presents classes all year round, along with open lab sessions for members on Fridays.
