SUMMARY:Emerging Leaders Special Forum
DESCRIPTION:Broadening perspectives: understanding how different generations approach business in 2025  and beyond\n\n \n\nWe look forward to a very special "meeting of the minds" between Tri Town's Emerging Leaders group and members of Business Builders I\, the Chamber's first peer networking group which was founded over 15 years ago.\n\n \n\nThe objective of this session is to help the Business Builder group\, which consists mostly of "veteran" business leaders\, better understand how younger generations find\, choose\, and work with service providers. We realize that our wealth of business experience provides some competitive advantages\, but if we are not easy to find or\, if our messaging isn't in line with what today's market is looking for\, we run the risk of being invisible or seen as old-fashioned.\n\n \n\nWe hope that this is not a one-time\, one-sided collaboration as we think that our perspectives on how later stage professionals view people and work can add value to those who are still striving to achieve full potential.  We would value the opportunity to set up another session down the road to focus solely on questions or concerns that younger professional may have that we might be able to add insights on.\n\n \n\nFor the November session we are hoping to get Emerging Leaders thoughts on these questions:\n\n \n\nHow can businesses led by older people find and appeal to a younger clientele?\n\n\n	When considering hiring a service provider\, where do you look?\n	What factors are important to you when selecting a service provider? How does website and other online presence factor in?\n	Most of us have existing client bases filled with older clients who have children who could be clients. How can we best appeal to the younger generation who have very different priorities and interests?\n	When seeking services (think investments\, legal issues\, job search) do you tend to use AI\, YouTube\, or other digital tools at some point? If so\, do you typically feel you have done enough?\n	When seeking services\, do you typically use humans you already know to introduce?\n	When considering a service provider how does the age of the service provider influence your perception of them?\n	If you were to engage a human service provider\, do you prefer to do that in person or via Zoom?\n\n \n\nBusiness Builders who are planning to attend are:\n\n \n\n\n	\n	\n		Career Coach: John Bates\, The Job Guy\n		Financial Advisor: Steve Davis\, Davis Financial\n		Attorney: Tim Kenneally\, Foley & Foley\n		Banking: Dan Watling\, Chase Bank\n		Photography: Karen Casey Ward\,  Photography by Casey\n		IT Solutions: Shawn Vest\, Vest Technical Solutions\n		Financial: Robert Bosco: UBS Financial / The Harborside Wealth Management Group\n	\n	\n\n\n\nThe Tri-Town Emerging Leaders Group provides an environment for building quality business relationships with like-minded professionals. Enabling young professionals to leverage their expertise\, as well as the expertise of other members of the group to solve common business problems and build new partnerships.\n\n \n\nThe Chamber is excited to offer you this unique opportunity to grow your business relationships within the Chamber. Members and prospective chamber members are welcome to visit this group.\n\n \n\nThere is no fee to join the Emerging Leaders Group\, this is a benefit of being a Chamber Member\n\n \n\nGroup meets the 3rd Wednesday of every month from 9:00-10:00am \n\n\n\nEvening Events will be planned as well\n\n\n\nThe Emerging Leaders Group in Sponsored by:
