On November 6, I am will be chairing a panel at the Corporate and Community Social Responsibility Conference at Algonquin College.

This is the 5th annual CCSR Conference which is brings together CSR leaders in business, non-profits, and government to discuss and showcase excellence in corporate social responsibility.

The objective of our session is to discuss Canada’s emerging generation of consumers, employees, and social entrepreneurs and how they will change the face of business.

The session will start with a short introduction on who Canadian Millennials are, what makes us different, and why everyone should care what we think.  Then I will be joined by three exciting panelists who will bring their perspective on how companies and community organizations can harness the power of generational change.

Dave Hale founder and CEO of Soshal Group will bring his expertise marketing to Millennials and the power that social media can play in energizing and activating Millennials.
