In today's workforce, up to five different generations bring their unique perspectives and talents to the table. Yesterday's PRSA Richmond luncheon featured an insightful panel that addressed how we can learn to harness each generation's "super power"— and how we can bridge gaps to create more inclusive, innovative workplaces. Thank you to our moderator, Sarah Milston, MPA, who also set the stage with an informative breakdown of each generation, and our incredible panelists (Connie Kottmann, APR, Rayhan Daudani, Sunni Brown and Hannah Robinson) for making this conversation so impactful!
