EWI of Detroit-Windsor announced that it is hosting a Women’s Leadership Conference:  Generations in the Workplace on May 16, 2019, at the Lewis Education Center, Wayne County Community College District Northwest Campus. Find complete details and tickets at www.ewidetroitwindsor.org.
 
Today’s workforce is clearly multigenerational. By 2020, Millennials will represent 50 percent of the workforce and many are stepping into managerial roles. Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials are clashing over values, technology, and work-life balance, to name a few. Why all the drama? This conference will clear the air on generational discord. National speaker, Lori Giovannoni will share her unique take on how multiple generations can work to elevate each other. By understanding each group’s characteristics, talents, and skills, successful leaders of all generations can learn to communicate across generational lines to build collaborative teams of happy, productive employees.  
 
The EWI Women’s Leadership Conference is part of EWI of Detroit-Windsor’s professional development program. Net proceeds from the conference help fund EWI’s Education & Literacy Fund. EWI is grateful for its partnership with Wayne County Community College District and for its generous support with this event.
