Millennials are often labeled as entitled or lazy, but they're also passionate, tech-savvy, and entrepreneurial.

With more than 80 million of them, it's more important than ever to show Millennials how to channel their energy, according to Knight Stivender, co-founder of Girls To The Moon.

"Millennials who graduated from college only to be thrust into the Great Recession are nonetheless a part of what is arguably the most inspired and enthusiastic generation since Boomers championed for Civil Rights, feminism, and an end to the war in Vietnam," Stivender said.

"How can they channel their passion for better communities into action and tangible results while managing 'day jobs' and paying the bills?"

Stivender is slated to keynote RUTHERFORD Cable's monthly breakfast meeting from 7:15-9 a.m. on Tuesday, April 12, at Stones River Country Club, located at 1830 N.W. Broad St. in Murfreesboro.

During her presentation, Stivender will showcase young women who are making a difference while balancing reallife demands and provide practical tips for how Cable members can follow in their footsteps.

RUTHERFORD Cable members and guests are welcome, and the public is invited to attend; the cost for this meeting is $20 and includes breakfast. Reservations are available online at rutherfordcable.org and must be completed by Thursday, April 7.

The ATHENA Young Professional Leadership Award nominees will be recognized during this breakfast meeting, and a recipient of the inaugural Young Leadership Award will be announced. Additionally, the ATHENA nontraditional scholarship winner will also be announced. This scholarship is awarded to a woman returning to school later in life.
