MBTA is proud to support the Greater Lansing Food Bank
The Greater Lansing Food Bank is a non-profit organization that provides emergency food to individuals and families in need in Ingham, Eaton, and Clinton counties. Food is distributed through an extensive network of food pantries and community kitchens located throughout the greater Lansing area. The Food Bank annually serves tens of thousands of people, many of them seniors and children. Our recipients also include the "working poor," those individuals who are employed but don't earn enough to meet housing, health, transportation and food needs.  The Food Movers program rescues perishable food from restaurants, commercial kitchens, bakeries, and grocery stores and delivers to our network of pantries and agencies and subsidized housing complexes. The Food Movers also manage our many food drives that local business and organizations organize to help feed our community. Food Movers also runs Neighborhood Partnerships that distribute food in five Lansing neighborhoods once or twice a month.

Description - MBTA Meeting Presentation - Exploring Generational Differences in the Workplace

We have, for the first time in history, four generations in the workplace. Couple that with global competition, downsizing, stress and different value systems, and it could be a serious problem for employers. Learn the different generational work styles, how they can work together, and how you can recruit, build teams, and motivate your staff to maintain and increase productivity.
