Tonight's presentation (in-person & virtual) will begin at 6:00 pm.

While much has been written and spoken about managing Millennials, what advice is there for young executives now charged with having to manage older generation workers? The demographics of many organizations are quickly shifting into higher age groups. And the shift is resulting in management positions oftentimes now being filled by younger candidates with a Bachelor’s degree in lieu of frontline experience. This age and experience differential can come with various challenges. Gaps can form in communication, accountability, expectations, responsibility, and respect. Our October 19 meeting presentation, Millennials Managing Boomers — How to/How not to," will pull from the recent experience of two younger individuals to cover many lessons learned, suggestions, anecdotal examples, and best practices for bridging that gap in order to manage effectively. Here what both have observed and learned.

Austin Rennick PE, CHFM, CEM, LEED AP, is the Regional Director of Facilities, and Ryan Ollie, PE, CHFM, CHOP, CEM, is Facilities Manager at Advocate Aurora Health (AAH). Both former consulting engineers have held a variety of positions during their combined 13 years at AAH. Austin, an Illinois ASHRAE member, has been a guest presenter at past chapter events. Ryan currently serves as President-Elect of the Healthcare Engineers Society of Northern Illinois (HESNI).
