Featuring Lunch with Keynote Speaker Chuck Underwood

Author of “The Generational Imperative” and “America’s Generations in the Workplace, Marketplace and Living Room”, Chuck Underwood is one of the handful of pioneers who created, developed, and popularized the field of generational study. The principles he established over the past quarter-century – from his formal research and front-line work with clients in all industries – are now a permanent part of this discipline. He is also considered by audiences in the U. S., Canada, and western Europe to be the best presenter of these strategies: in his training seminars, workshops, and keynote speeches.
