Investors Bank wants your organization to thrive, but we know that isn't always an easy task in today's competitive environment. We've assembled a panel of industry experts designed to help you understand the multi-generational impact on your not-for-profit organization.

 

Our annual Northern Jersey Art of Thriving conference is free to anyone in a leadership position at a not-for-profit. It will include:

• Feature Presentation from The Reverend Dr. DeForest B. Soaries, Jr.

Panel Discussion Info:  "A Different Diversity- the Multi-Generational Impact on Not-For-Profits"

A dynamic panel of professionals representing multiple generations will discuss some of the unique trends and characteristics that define their age group. Even more importantly, they will connect the dots between those distinguishing features and their attitudes toward the nonprofit community.  Baby Boomers, Gen X and Gen Y all have a different approach to financial support and volunteerism - join us to learn more about what they consider a compelling message  and gain some critical insights as to what you can do to get them engaged with your organization and its mission.
