Our Founder's Story

It began in 2013, when Shira (Harrington) Lotzar had a divine epiphany about the impending effects of ageism in the workplace. As a career coach, recruiter and generational diversity expert, she has witnessed highly skilled professionals struggle to secure or re-gain W-2 employment when they reached “a certain stage in life.” The solution became abundantly clear.

Self-employment.

Realizing that traditional W-2 employees need a transition plan to this *mystifying* income path known as becoming self employed, she co-founded BoomerWorks to inspire and empower professionals age 50-plus to shift their mindsets and skill sets into meaningful, alternative employment.

Today, with a team of committed volunteers, BoomerWorks is excited about the growing cohort of self-employed professionals who are repurposing their talents toward a more income resilient future.
