An Intergenerational Conversation Between Kalamazoo Leaders

This conversation brings together two young leaders and two elder leaders from the Kalamazoo community to explore the question, “What is a life well lived?” Each has lived a driven life of service, spirituality, and community. What can be shared from elders who have decades of personal, professional, and reflective experiences that help answer the question, “What is a life well lived?” What can be shared from young leaders who are envisioning the world in which they hope to live a life well lived?

Moderator: Matthew Miller, director of the Kalamazoo Lyceum. Panelists: Tom Beech, former CEO of the Fetzer Institute; Jeri Love, award-winning writer, photographer and Photovoice facilitator; Genesis Griffin, youth leadership coordinator for Kalamazoo Youth Development Network; and Michael T.
