What Does KAA-Boom mean to boomers?

For boomers KAA-Boom means new beginnings, new directions, renewed energy. This dynamic post World War II generation should be called KAA-Boomers because they're vigorous, innovative and actively engaged with all facets of their lives. KAA-Boomers have always been catalysts for change, and now they changing the meaning of retirement and the workplace. KAA-Boomers may age, but they are refusing to get old. KAA-Boomers are optimistic about their future. They are the firecracker between the KAA and the Boom.

They're ready for the next exciting phase of their lives.
