Ok - I'll admit it! I am a boomer (mind you on the very back end but still there ). I read a great article today about engaging younger members at meetings and was wondering if this is an area that we should be exploring?
Do we need to have a group for young professionals to network and engage at the meeting? How should such a thing or area be set up? Should we have a forum for young professionals? Is it different for Career Services and Recruiters?
Wow, I am full of questions....anybody want to comment?

Nancy,
We are already seeing members who wish to engage with others around a specific interest area. We will need to define what is a "young professional" and identify how their needs may be different from other generations.
Janssen's quote at the bottom of page one pertaining to wise choices in technology is particularly apt - community must be at the heart of the endeavor. The rub is the target audience must be interested enough (or bold enough if a cross-demographic mix is sought) in the technology to work with it. There is a fine line between gimmick and trend; and gimmicky is not always a bad thing.
