The Post-Boomer Chamber: Attracting Gen X and Millennial Leaders
In 2017, Principal Kristin Brighton conducted a national research study to examine why business professionals of different ages and genders volunteer outside their businesses, serve as community leaders, and join their local chambers of commerce — or don't. The study's aim was to find new strategies for the chamber industry to better engage young professionals and evolve to stay vital once the Baby Boomers retire.
