Women of the World's Opening Event of 2011

In collaboration with The University of Chicago Women’s Business Group

“Gen Y Women – Paving the Highway to the Future”

On Wednesday, January 19, 2011 at the Mid-America Club an expert panel moderated by Noeleen McGrath, McGrath Communications featured:

· Elene Cafasso, President, Enerpace & VP Programs, UCWBG

· Janet Deatherage, Associate Dean, Loyola University & Director of Women’s Leadership

· Laura Waleryszak, College & Community Campaigns Associate, VDAY

The connection between "generation Y", those born in the mid 1980’s and later (also known as the Millenials), and "baby boomers", those born between 1946 and 1964, is one where both generations are learning from one another while working together.

Janet Deatherage stated that there is a paradigm shift in which new graduates are mentoring the baby boomers. Elene Cafasso believes Gen Y have flexibility and balance because of their behavioral patterns. After leaving work Gen Y’s are online at night, which means that they can work from home at any time. Laura Waleryszak, a Gen Y herself, is able to work on VDAY activities from anywhere while also being connected to many others around the country.

This is a two-way street, both Gen Y and baby boomers can learn from one another. It is never too late.
