PowerRoundtables
3 Panelists + 15 Attendees = Real discussion

An innovative combination of panel discussion and PowerMentoring brings you fresh perspectives on targeted topics, and the opportunity to table your relevant issues for discussion. The limited group size ensures high value networking and powerful discussions.

Sage would like to draw your attention to a session hosted by The Executive Roundtable on October 7, 2008:
Time: 7:30 AM - 10:00 AM

Talkin’ ‘Bout the Generations:

Naomi Shaw, Vice President, Leadership, Scotiabank
Sarah Nisbeth, Executive Vice President, Client Leader, Young & Rubicam
