- 3. Who am I?
- 4. Question #1
- 5. Question #1 What are you doing right now as a club to embrace generational diversity?
- 7. Why diversity matters… Because science, economics and Nobel Prize winners say so.
- 9. Why Millennials and GenZ matter…
- 10. Why Millennials and GenZ matter… By 2026 Millennials and Generation Z will make up 75% of the global workforce.
- 11. So let’s get to know them… Increasing education costs, paired with the expectation that a 4-year degree is required to pursue professional careers, puts many people at a disadvantage for 1-2 decades. We hear about Millennial and Gen Z being disconnected from community, living at home longer, starting families later -- rather than writing us off as malcontents or fickle, you should remember that we’re likely still a decade away from paying off our degree, and have limited options as a result. Jon
- 12. So let’s get to know them… I wish Boomers + Xers were talking to me about their past struggles (that led to their current successes); sharing what they wish they did, so that we may do it together. I want to hear of their observations and their struggles of enacting change; I want to be reassured of the beauty that's on the other side. I wish they were talking about the change that needs to happen in the systems we are all bound to, for the betterment of all. Samantha
- 13. So let’s get to know them… Growing up I was taught that success was found in a good paycheck. The idea that knowledge must be earned has been a block on finding a place in the world for me. We have grown up in a connected world that shares information. I learned woodworking, knitting, graphic design, and cooking on YouTube. Websites dedicated to sharing knowledge and skills are common. Sharing has become a part of togetherness for our generation. Matthew

Editor's Notes
- Leads to impact!
- Less than 4% of Rotarians around the world are under 35
- The bottom line to all of this – is that they are the future Because they are the future of Rotary – notice not your rotary club – all of rotary Need to think about making Rotarians not members to your club Meet people where they are Also speaking of bottom line – this will affect the bottom line dollar for you club for attracting and RETAINING new members. If they leave you loose money. But most importantly the people we are trying to impact will also be intergenerational – so if we don’t include this new generation it will impact the impact of impact How do we take what we learned from how we treat the people we serve and apply it to our peers? Not just about gen diversity in membership but also leadership
- In membership AND Leadership
- 3 Things to do from industry and what I learned Meet people where they are Example: core time Partnerships OPEN
- U40 as an illustration of 3 things to do. ADD in the questions from the U40 application: What are you passionate about? If you had a week to dedicate to service what would you do? Add in stats for Portland Downtown Club We need these new generations to help lead: Example - Social Justice (Pearl) or DIE Committee Story about Harassment announcement and how some were uncomfortable but more where appreciative of it
- Return to three things to do as Rotarians – get specific “Try doing this….Go do this….” Meet people where they are Make Rotarians this means you are going to have to partner with other clubs across partnership with industry based organizations that don’t have a service component – young leadership OPEN
