Gen Z vs the Gerontocracy: Reclaiming America’s Future
Description:
Age is more than just a number, shaping pivotal decisions on reproductive rights, environmental protections and the 2024 Presidential Election. Whether you see old age as a sign of experience or being out of touch, it is clear Americans are looking for change. How do we convince our leaders to pass the torch to younger generations – to preserve their legacies and the future of our country? And what can institutions be doing to prepare for the new wave of Gen Z innovators across sectors? Gen Z leaders will share their vision for a future where youth voices are valued across today's society.
