Are your colleagues in distinctly different age groups? Are you sometimes baffled or frustrated by their decisions and behaviors? You are not alone. Since the workplace is made up of multiple generations, you are likely to experience generational friction firsthand. But let’s be clear: these are not problems to fix. Rather, they are differences to understand, appreciate, and – ultimately - leverage.
In our opening session, “Why I Find You Irritating: Navigating Generational Friction at Work," organizational behavior expert Chris De Santis will share his insights on navigating generational friction in all areas of your work. Chris has presented, consulted, and coached countless Fortune 500 companies, law firms, and professional associations. His presentation will help attendees to better understand and relate to their colleagues, opposing counsel, and clients.

Our midday session will take place right after lunch and feature presenters from the Property Tax Appeal Board (PTAB). PTAB is a quasi-judicial body that provides both taxpayers and taxing districts with an unbiased forum in which to contest the assessment of their property. In this session, Michael Bullock, Sasha Jonic, and Kristina Mucinskas will share updates to statute, give an overview of PTAB procedures, and spend time in Q&A with audience members.
Sovereign citizens and tax deniers are a group of activists, protesters, and conspiracy theorists who adhere to pseudo legal concepts whereby they only answer to particular interpretations of common law. These individuals believe they are not subject to government statutes or proceedings, which include paying taxes in any form. After last year’s presentation on this topic, Kathy Enstrom and Michael Raschella will take a deeper dive into the topic discussing new cases, legal precedent, and how attorneys and local government officials can successfully interact with these individuals.
