005 - Presidential Remarks & Zap the Generational Gap!

The 2026 CCA Annual Meeting concludes with the final remarks of the CCA President, the passing of the gavel to the President Elect, and our capstone presentation by a nationally recognized multi-generational expert and generational studies enthusiast Meagan Johnson. Having a Generational Misunderstanding is nothing new. Many of us have walked away from a multi-generational interaction with less than stellar results. We are left scratching our heads, thinking, “is this a generational issue or a personality problem?” Combined with conflicting generational information and blatant generational stereotypes, it can be a challenge to forge a new path with the multi-generational people in our lives. The truth is, the workforce, and possibly your household, spans across five generations. On one end of the spectrum, the younger generations in the workforce, are beginning their careers during one of the largest global upheavals the world has experienced. On the other end, an entire generation, on the precipice of retirement, is learning how to conduct business in an increasingly digital environment. It can be a struggle to find the right balance between the sometimes-conflicting needs of each generation. Since 1997; Meagan has researched, written and spoken about the multiple generations. Her focus is on how to build a culture of multi-generational collaboration… not alienation. Rather than promoting generational stereotypes, Meagan explores what drives a generation to succeed.
