Attracting & Engaging Millenials - CCEC Membership Peer Network Call

Join the conversation as the CCEC Membership Peer Network discusses "Attracting and Engaging Millennials".

Darrell Keezer of Candy Box Marketing will do a brief talk on how the rise of the Digital Consumer has changed everything.  Are you ready for the new way of doing business?  What is the influence of millennials and the new digital consumer on marketing and purchasing? How does this impact organizations who want to attract and retain this new generation of business owners and leaders.

That will be followed by Christine Hogle and Dana Walton from the Kitchener-Waterloo Chamber who will talk about their successful mentorship programs.

Then the lines  are open for you to tell us what your Chamber is doing to attract and engage millennials - what's worked, what didn't - as well as ask questions. Feel free to submit your question in the comments box when you register so we are sure it gets addressed during the call.

Open to all staff involved in membership development, the CCEC Membership Peer Network provides an opportunity for you to connect with your peers, share best practices and discuss burning issues.
