Next Generation Retreat Inspires Young Leaders

Twenty-eight enthusiastic young people — ranging from teens to those in their 30’s with children — joined ASF at our Next Generation Retreat in Chicago on October 23. Thank you to everyone who shared and thoughtfully articulated the joys, challenges, and realities of being involved in family philanthropy.

The Next Generation Retreat will come to the ASF 2012 National Conference.
