When: Thursday, January 27, 2022 | 11:30 - 1:00 pm 

Price: All ACEC Georgia Forum meetings are free and open to ACEC Georgia Member Firms and Supporting Members.

The ACEC Georgia Land Development Forum is chaired by Tom True of Colliers Engineering & Design and meets on a quarterly basis. This forum is designed to bring together land development professionals to discuss common challenges to their unique business issues, potential solutions, and how ACEC Georgia might engage to address those concerns. 

This month's meeting with feature guest speaker, Skot Waldron, who will share his insights on Leading A Multi-Generational Workforce. 

This is the first time in history that we have five generations in the workforce. We can't lead everyone the same. The technological revolution is driving where we are going and it must be embraced by everyone. How do we retool leaders to help them be the best leader they can be using the skills and insights of earlier generations and merging them with the skills and insights of newer generations? 

In this session, attendees will gain insights from both sides of the table and learn how they can work together to build your industry. Ignoring the past and scoffing at the future aren't options. We must learn to embrace both.

In this presentation, attendees will:

• Understand what each generation brings to the table.
• Learn how to develop others effectively.
• Help bridge the gap between different personalities on the team.
