The Intergenerational Panel: From Z to Boom & Everything in Between!

Does your Boomer or Gen X boss drive you nuts? Does Gen Z or Millennial really lack work ethic? Join us for our Intergenerational Panel to vet our stereotypes and learn about the ways all generations can collaborate and support one another for good!

We will be featuring women from Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X, and Boomer generations to discuss the obstacles that keep us from working together, the biases that exist, and what collaborative success can look like if we can just tap into one another's strengths and support one another at every opportunity.
