Millennials: Who are They and How Do Charities Create Meaningful Relationships with Them
Heidi Jark
The next generation is here and has definitely made a lasting impact on the future. So what happens next for the charitable world as they navigate the unchartered waters of working with this new generation of volunteers, board members, and supporters? During this presentation, we’ll take a deeper look at the Millennial Generation from “who” they are, to “how” they work, live, and give. Using real world examples, we’ll then explore how charities and families have successfully engaged the next generation in order to create meaningful relationships with them.
Advance reservations are required.
