One of the hottest topics in organizations right now surrounds the latest generation of workforce talent and how they are changing the way we work and lead. Flooding the workforce in large numbers, Gen Y is evoking much curiosity, discussion and even criticism. Who are these young, ambitious leaders? What do they want? And why do organizations need to listen to them?

“Public Leadership – Fighting for Justice”
Barbara McQuade was appointed by President Obama to serve as the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan in 2010. Since that time, she has worked tirelessly on behalf of our communities. Significant cases include the conviction of former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick on public corruption charges, the conviction and life sentence of an Al-Qaeda operative for attempting to blow up an airliner over Detroit on Christmas Day in 2009, the conviction of a former Michigan Supreme Court Justice on bank fraud charges, and the conviction of Dr. Farid Fata, who over treated and lied to hundreds of patients about having cancer so that he could bill Medicare for expensive chemotherapy treatments.
Barbara will share some of the highlights of her time in this role and encourage all of us to be strong, ethical community and business leaders.
