BUSINESS@BREAKFAST: MILLENNIALS, THE ENGAGED GENERATION
When: Tuesday, August 13 | 7:30-8:30 a.m.
Where: IALR | 150 Slayton Ave | Danville

Join us at Business @ Breakfast to hear from an intergenerational panel on their experiences as Millennials and working with this engaged generation.

Moderated by Dan Pleasant [Dewberry], panelists will represent both Gen X and the Millennial generations.

Millennials, or those born between approximately 1980 and 2000, make up the largest generation in the U.S. workforce. By 2020, 50 percent of the workforce is expected to be made up of Millennials. And by 2030, it will be 75 percent.

Is your business’s culture adapting to this talented group of workers? How can we support Millennial development as they move into leadership positions? How can we promote mutual learning and mentoring so that we work better together?
