Coming Up On Connections: Wednesday, May 25th

First hour: What's next for COMIDA?

Second hour: Creating work cultures that attract millennials

Following County Executive Cheryl Dinolfo's Tuesday news conference, we've invited leadership and legislators from both parties to join us to discuss what happens next with COMIDA. We'll talk about how the COMIDA board should be filled, how tax dollars can be properly stewarded, and what questions are still unanswered. Our guests:

  • James Sheppard, Monroe County legislator (D, Rochester)
  • Mark Muoio, Monroe County legislator, (D, Rochester)
  • Anthony Daniele, president of the Monroe County Legislature (R, Brighton, East Rochester, Pittsford)

In our second hour, do millennials need special considerations in the workplace? It's a question that might sound patronizing, but employers are finding key factors that attract millennials: flexible schedules, meaningful work, opportunities to collaborate, and more. We're building on the conversation started this past Thursday on Need to Know, with a look at what millennials are seeking at work. Our guests:

  • Ana Liss, managing director of business development at Greater Rochester Enterprise
  • Seth Eshelman, founder of Staach Inc.
  • André Primus, founder and director of Roc Share
