Lynell Anderson not only brings over 30 years experience to the Panel, she also brings a great reputation among her younger peers. Driven by her interest in providing youth a chance to succeed, Anderson is no stranger to working with younger people, and often is re-energized working with the demographic.

She will share her thoughts and expertise on intergenerational topics in hopes to help address the generational issues that face us all today.
