If you are over 40, chances are that you relied on the resident expert, the 12 year old, to help you understand and connect on social media and order from Amazon.
Hence, Challenge #2 of 4 from Weblink International, Engaging Young Professionals:
The Value of Time & Space
Young professionals value time and space differently from their predecessors. They do not
have the patience for imposition. For example, a Baby Boomer will wait for a sale, cut out the coupon and drive to the store to purchase a desired item. In contrast, the young professional will bid on a product online, instantly buy it and have it delivered without ever leaving home or the office.
THE CHALLENGES
Time is scarce. The line between personal and professional time has traditionally been
blurred for association members. Baby Boomers perceive after hours events as worthwhile
time commitments while young professionals draw a distinct line between their personal
and professional time and highly value personal time spent with peers.
Nothing personal. Young professionals do not typically need to make business connections
in person. They connect digitally and are large consumers of multi-media. Often they prefer
podcasts, webinars and videos over going to an event to see and hear a speaker, unless it is
with a group of friends.
ENGAGEMENT STRATEGY
Be friend friendly. Create events specifically for the younger crowd, and reward your young
professional members for bringing friends to these events. Once your Millennial members
meet and befriend other association members, your events compete less with their personal
time and may become one of their preferred activities.
Bring on the videos. Online access to videos offers your message 24 hours per day, seven
days per week. The convenience of membership coupled with the information they need
benefits young professionals on their terms.
Speaking of videos, here is a business highlight created by our young professional, Philip Guevarra.
Business of the Month Masson & Associates
All great tips for building your business. However, there is still value in personally connecting with someone over coffee...so reach out to a young professional this week and have a face to face conversation.
Sincerely,
Rorie Johnston

Stock markets around the world have made only modest moves Wednesday, waiting to see what
President Trump has in store for U.S. tax policy.
Stocks have leaped since November, large part because of expectations that lower taxes and looser regulations for businesses are on the way. The White House is expected to
unveil its first tax proposal
Wednesday, and officials have described it as "the biggest tax cut" in U.S. history, though the announcement is likely to include only broad outlines and few details.

The chief executive of the California High-Speed Rail Authority - former Caltrans director Jeff Morales - is resigning in June from the agency after five years overseeing the state's $64 billion bullet train project.
The
announcement
Friday prompted Gov. Jerry Brown and others to praise Morales for leading the authority during a contentious period in which it managed to break ground on the bullet train's system initial 118-mile segment but struggled to find funding that would actually allow for construction of a statewide network.
