    Our Program

    Generations in the Workforce explores the realities of 5 generations present at one time in nonprofit organizations. From Alpha youth volunteers to Silent Generations employees and retirees - what does this mean for employers, managers, leaders and decision makers? How can we increase empathy for the natural tendencies of each group to make your mission possible.

    Attendees will explore their own generational preferences and compare them to those of other generations.

    This session is pending approval for CFRE credit.

    Our Presenter

    Sarah Milston is a recovering fundraiser and the Founder of The Spark Mill - a strategic consultancy focused on strategy and change servicing the Mid-Atlantic region for over a decade. Sarah loves a challenge and is known for making connections between people and ideas and data. She believes change is a necessary and exciting part of life and works hard to raise two kids with hopes they will be good and kind humans.
