The United Way GenNext Summit is a leadership development and networking conference that creates an opportunity for Winnipeg’s next generation to listen, discuss, and be inspired.
This year on Oct. 17, the 400+ attendees heard from Mark Chipman (True North Sports and Entertainment), Tessa Blaikie Whitecloud (One Just City), Niks Vik (Parlour Coffee), Jane Helbrecht (Acuity HR Solutions), Dave Angus (Johnston Group), and many more. This line-up of inspiring individuals trended on Twitter, #GenNextSummit2018
Who put together this stellar line-up? None other than Payworks’ own Business Development Specialist, Callan Davey and Business Analyst Dee dela Cruz. These two ladies worked tirelessly alongside United Way Winnipeg’s GenNext Council to co-chair their GenNext Summit Event for 2018.
“I believe our generation of leaders have shown an overwhelming desire to do more, be more, and I believe that we will fulfill our call to action,” said Dee.
“I’m incredibly proud of our volunteer committee, the United Way staff, and everyone who attended Summit. The whole day was uplifting, energizing and fueled by passion. The greatest learning takeaway I have is that teamwork can make anything happen,” said Callan.
