- (PressReleasePoint) - GLENVIEW, IL -- Marla Levie, the founder of Focus on Aging, a consulting company that focuses on elder care marketing and other marketing to seniors, was recently interviewed by the University of Illinois School of Social Work's magazine, The Column.

Levie is board member of the School of Social Work Alumni Association and a 1979 BSW graduate. In addition to her work with the Alumni Association, she has pledged to support the Fund for Field for three years.

In the magazine's interview, Levie explains why her education at the University of Illinois prepared her for a career in social service. This career led her to the newly developed senior living marketing industry. Focus on Aging has been serving the aging industry in Chicago for more than 20 years.

"I received a valuable education at the University of Illinois and I can't think of a better way to show my support than pledging to the scholarship fund. Three generations of my family have attended the university and my daughter is currently enrolled there. The University of Illinois has served us all well and the quality of the education I received has helped me throughout my career, especially when I started my business," said Marla B. Levie, founder of Focus on Aging.

Additionally, Levie understands that many marketing budgets have been slashed with the new economic conditions and is skilled in making an impact with a limited budget.

"I understand the budget constraints that many companies are facing. It's a vicious cycle -- marketing budgets are cut because clients and referrals are declining, which makes it harder to find clients.
