Presenter: Michael J. Faehner, LL.M. (Tax), M. Faehner, Esq. LLC
Come join us as we examine how different generations have evolved and explore their core motivations and events that influenced their thinking. Specifically, we will be discussing:
- WHAT DEFINES A GENERATION?
- WHAT ARE THE MULTIPLE GENERATIONS IMPACTING US ALL?
- IDENTIFY GENERATIONAL DIFFERENCES IN PROCESSING AND INTERACTING
- WHY DO WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCES?
And then be able to draw conclusions based upon their traits on how to get them to give to your charity of choice.
