As more retirees explore opportunities to return to the workforce, a collaborative group of local organizations is launching the Reimagining Retirement Series — a three-part event designed to help retirees and seniors navigate employment options that align with their skills, interests, and lifestyles.

Coordinated by the Retiree Workforce Group, which includes Job Service Kalispell, My Glacier Village, Flathead Valley Community College, Discover Kalispell Chamber as part of the WorkForce Flathead initiative, this series offers valuable insights and resources for retirees looking to reenter the workforce on their terms.

The retiree workforce brunch on March 19 at 10 a.m. kicks off the series with a free brunch where retirees can connect with employers and learn about job opportunities suited to their experience and lifestyle.
