Environments for Aging - Fall 2017 - 7

EDITORIAL

In our corner
EFA is positioned for growth, and we have some
highly qualified individuals helping to guide the way
By Jennifer Kovacs Silvis
Every time I or one of the other editors here at Environments for
Aging has the opportunity to interview an industry member, chat
with an architect at an event, or visit with a design team at a
project site, our brand gets a little bit better. It's because you-
yes, you-mean a lot to us.
We rely on active senior living design professionals to be
our eyes and ears, sharing with us the challenges of working
in this sector and, more important, the solutions identified
to deliver effective environments that don't just support but
enhance the lives of the seniors who live there. It's what
shapes our content in each of our three print issues as
well as the articles and news items we post at EFAmagazine.com throughout
the year. That's been the case since we launched the magazine (then Design)
20 years ago-happy anniversary to us! (For more, see our 20th anniversary
coverage beginning on page 22.)
It's what's inspired a recent initiative to tap into the collective knowledge that
exists out there. Please join me in welcoming our new Editorial Advisory Board.
The individuals you'll find listed on pages 10-11 represent some of the brightest
and most passionate professionals in this industry, including architects, interior
designers, consultants, and owners/providers. I've asked them to join us here at
EFA to provide a more formalized avenue for collecting insight on where we are
as a design community, where senior living is heading, and how EFA can help all

of you get there through our print, digital, and events channels.
In fact, I spoke with the group via conference call to kick-off their term
and dig into how the industry has evolved since EFA launched in 1997. Their
perspectives on the past are interesting, but perhaps what's even more thoughtprovoking is their take on what's to come-see page 24.
It's a step in the right direction that I'm excited about, but it is just one step.
As we look ahead for where to take our brand, we value what all of you have
to say. So keep the emails coming; visit us at the EFA booth at the EFA Expo &
Conference in Savannah, Ga., in April; and share your new projects, research
findings, and best practices. We've grown a lot over the past two decades, and
we couldn't have done it without you. EFA
