President's Message
Love Me Some Millennials!
FACT: Millennials are defined as people born between 1981 and 1996.
FACT: Millennials make up 35% of today's workforce.
SOON TO BE FACT: Millennials will make up 75% of the workforce by 2030 (only 10 years from now!).
FACT: Millennials are important to your business both as leaders, employees and consumers.
MYTH: Millennials are entitled, lazy, spoiled, self-absorbed and disloyal employees.
Chris Tuff, this week's speaker, shares key insights in successfully working with millennials. I just finished reading his amazing and well written book, "The Millennial Whisperer: The Practical, Profit-Focused Playbook for Working With and Motivating the World's Largest Generation" and I couldn't put it down! It is based on significant research and Chris' personal experiences leading a highly successful team of millennials at 22squared. Chris will challenge what you think you know about working with millennials and share important ways to empower your millennial team members and put them in a position to do their best work.
This may be the Roswell Rotary program that most impacts your business and personal relationships this year. Don't miss it!

New Member Spotlight: Kyle Woods
A graduate of the University
of Georgia and Emory Law School, Kyle Woods has been practicing law in the
Atlanta area for over 30 years. After learning the ropes of his profession at
several regional law firms, Kyle launched his own law practice in 1994. Over
the next 17 years, he advised and represented clients in commercial, business,
real estate, and financial restructuring legal matters, including both trial
and transactional work. He has served as outside general counsel to numerous
local and regional businesses—in some cases from start up through initial
public offering and beyond. In 2010, Kyle was recruited to join the Atlanta
office of multinational law firm Greenberg Traurig. During his 8 years at
Greenberg Traurig, Kyle represented institutional lenders, private equity
firms, and other creditors in workout, loan enforcement, and financial
restructuring matters, as well as serving as lead trial attorney representing
principal parties in complex commercial bankruptcy cases of national scope
before courts ranging from Delaware to Houston.
Kyle recently decided to return to his own law practice and to focus more time and energy on giving back to and being involved in his local community of Roswell, Georgia, where he has resided since 1994. His law practice will be based in Roswell and will focus on serving local and regional businesses, as well as individuals and families. He will provide a broad range of legal representation and counseling services, including, without limitation, business, commercial, and financial matters, as well as estate planning. Kyleand his wife, Ginger, live along the Chattahoochee River near Island Ford, where, among other things, he enjoys kayaking and other outdoor recreational activities.
