Panel discussions touched on topics such as building company culture, how to manage effective teams, recruiting and retaining younger talent, maintaining corporate culture with a remote workforce, and what the new work environment means to younger professionals.
The foundations that were showcased during the event were: MAGIC Charities, St. Anthony’s Charter School, Love Life Now Foundation, Equipment Lease & Finance Foundation, and the Chris Walker Education Fund.
