While that may not surprise you, did you know that 23 percent of associations tell us they are inviting younger members to join their event planning committees? These tactics eclipsed the number of associations that are cultivating a social media presence during their live events (19 percent), offering awards for young professionals (16 percent) or offering separate educational tracks for young professionals (10 percent). In another surprise finding, just 3 percent of associations said they are posting videos of their presentations and sessions. We expect that percentage to rise strongly in the years ahead.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6205\" src=\"http:\/\/www.naylor.com\/associationadviser\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/07\/AA-July-2016-Attract-Younger-Industry-Graph.jpg\" alt=\"AA-July-2016-Attract-Younger-Industry-Graph\" width=\"650\" height=\"369\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.naylor.com\/associationadviser\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/07\/AA-July-2016-Attract-Younger-Industry-Graph.jpg 930w, https:\/\/www.naylor.com\/associationadviser\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/07\/AA-July-2016-Attract-Younger-Industry-Graph-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.naylor.com\/associationadviser\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/07\/AA-July-2016-Attract-Younger-Industry-Graph-768x436.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t very often give Millennials the mic and ask them directly, \u2018what\u2019s important to you in life?\u2019\u201d observed <strong>Patrick Leclerc, <\/strong>president &amp; CEO of the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cutaactu.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\">Canadian Urban Transit Association<\/a><\/span>. \u201cWe don\u2019t ask them often enough: \u2019What do you expect in the workplace?
