Ron Kauffman is the well-known live talk radio-show host of Senior LifeStyles that has been on-air for the past two-years on Clear Channel's AM 1230 WBZT throughout south Florida.

He began his relationship with the Area Agency on Aging in 2004 by inviting CEO, Bob McFalls, to appear on his talk show as a guest. He began volunteering with the AAA, and according to Mr. McFalls, "It quickly became apparent that Ron was someone whose talents and energy could benefit us in the area of marketing and publicity. We are very pleased to welcome him to our team and expect great things from him in the months ahead." Ron will continue his three-times per week talk show program, Tuesday through Thursday on WBZT, but McFalls wasted no time in putting him to work. Ron was asked to make a key presentation on behalf of the Area Agency at the recent White House Conference on Aging held at the Cohen Pavilion on September 12. He also managed the press conference that followed with Committee Chair Dorcas Hardy, Florida Secretary of the Department of Elder ffairs, Carole Green, Area Agency CEO Robert McFalls and Congressman E. Clay Shaw. They discussed with the media the importance of the Area Agency's role to the national White House Conference on Aging's final meeting to be held in Washington in December. Mr. Kauffman and his wife, Lisa, a geriatric care manager, have been Florida residents since 1995. They live in Abacoa in Jupiter and are both active in their homeowner's association. Ron serves as a member of the Board of Directors of Jewish Family & Children's Service in West Palm Beach. He also works with and assists the efforts of the Alzheimer's Association, while his wife is a committee volunteer at Alzheimer's Community Care. Mr. Kauffman attended C.W. Post College/Long Island University and St. John's University Graduate School of Business and is a Vietnam-era veteran. Photo attached, caption: Ron Kauffman, Area Agency on Aging Public --- END ---

Now, his dual careers allow him to use his broadcast pulpit to announce the services of the non-profit, social service agency. Kauffman hosts the hour-long talk show "Senior Lifestyles" at 3:00 p.m. on WBZT 1230 AM on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. He has hosted the show since January 2004. We've discussed everything from how seniors should talk to their adult children, the 'hidden' adults in their 40s and 50s who have special needs and must be looked after and how to slow down the onset of Alzheimer's Disease," Kauffman said. "Alpert JFCS staff have also told my audience about having companions visit seniors every so often so they stay in their own homes and be as independent as possible." |
