The luncheon, a program of the Dallas Regional Chamber's Leadership Dallas Alumni, will feature guest speaker Mark Brewer, president and CEO of the Community Foundation of Central Florida. The Foundation’s mission is to build community by building philanthropy, and it holds more than 400 charitable funds for individuals, families, businesses and agencies across the region.

For the first time in history, there are five living generations in America. They don’t think the same, buy the same, listen to the same music, or think the same about work or community. Members of each generation are linked through shared life experiences that bond them into separate "cohorts".

The five generational cohorts (GIs, Silents, Baby Boomers, Generation X and the Millennials) have vastly different expectations about their employers and communities; volunteering and charitable giving; buying decisions; and media and messages.

The economy is different, too. Once Baby Boomers would travel anywhere for the right job. Today, Millennials select the place they want to live, then find a job. This single practice is turning old models of economic development upside down. The three sectors of the economy—business, government and non-profits-- are now linked together as foundation for great communities.

Find out how five living generations of people are building social capital in new community paradigms across the economic sectors.
