One of my 'hobbies' is chasing down the more positive terms used to describe older people in our communities and their engagement. When Active, engaged, valued: older people and NSW public libraries was published I deliberately chose the ambiguous "active, engaged, valued" to describe both the people and the libraries.
The US based Purpose Prize uses the tag "Leading with experience" but the best one I've seen was in the July issue of the Australian Seniors Computer Clubs Association Newsletter - "YOPPIE" - A youthful older person positively interested in everything.
