Lee County: Collaboration between Generations!

Join us as we will explore the characteristics of each generation-their differences, similarities, motivations, aversions, and how each generation brings necessary skills to the marketplace. We will focus on how the different generations can collaborate in a way that shows value for each other, creates a sense of understandings and respect.
