Don’t be fooled by Hedda Bolgar Bekker’s peppered hair and grandmotherly stature — she is most definitely not your average 102-year-old. Quite the contrary, Bekker still works 20 hours a week as a psychologist and travels to speak about aging and the workforce.
Bekker was one of the 2011 America’s Outstanding Oldest Workers, presented by Experience Works, an organization serving older workers. At an event Wednesday where she received her award, Bekker addressed the issue of aging in the workforce and urged employers to see older workers as assets to an organization.
