How do Millennials Connect with Fairfield?

5/1/2017

0 Comments

 
Thank you for joining  the Young Professionals of Fairfield and Fairfield Area Chamber of Commerce for the May installment of TED Talks: Dine & Discussion at Yummy's Gourmet Cakes on Wednesday, May 10th from 12:00-1:00pm.  

Over a casual lunch, discussion was held on the short TED Talk video titled, “Millennials: Who They Are & Why We Hate Them” by Scott Hess. The video served as an introduction to the conversation about specific ways that millennials can connect to Fairfield and how Fairfield can connect with millennials. 

Here is some of the feedback that was discussed:

The Chamber is interested in reaching more millennials.  How do you decide whether or not you will attend a networking or educational event?
  • If you know that other young people will be there
  • Free food and drinks
  • Casual atmosphere
  • Enjoys professional development
  • If it is a volunteer event so that you can give back to our community
  • I look for events on Facebook and the Source
  • Is it kid-friendly?  Best time is lunch because of the lack of affordable childcare in Fairfield
 
Would you be interested in a Chamber organized program that arranges mentorships with established local professionals? If so, what components would you find most valuable or intriguing?
  • A coaching dynamic that offers a third party perspective
  • Marketing and Social Media
  • Matching up mentors with mentees via a questionnaire
 
What events, programming or initiatives do you suggest the Chamber offer that would specifically appeal to a younger generation of professionals?
  • Bar Crawl
  • Peddle Pub
  • Bike Crawl
  • Restaurant Week
  • Taste of Fairfield
 
Are you interested in representing Millennials in a focus group that meets with the Chamber’s Retail and Restaurant Managers Working Group to discuss your spending and shopping habits?   Do you have anything else that you would  like to share?  If so contact, Lindsey Waugh, fellow Millennial and Chamber Administrator at lwaugh@fairfieldiowa.com or 472-2111
