2/28-MEET THE MILLENNIALS. NOT A BASKETBALL TEAM, OUR NATION'S FUTURE

Paul T. Conway is the president of Generation Opportunity, a non-partisan, non-profit 501 c4 organization with the express mission of educating, organizing and mobilizing 18-29 year olds - also known as Millennials - on the immediate and long-term economic challenges facing the nation, such as lack of job opportunities, increasing debt and federal spending, as well as U.S. competitiveness.

The ultimate goal is to further engage young Americans, who are already shouldering much of the economic burden due to lost job opportunities, in the democratic process to advocate real solutions and hold elected officials accountable.

Conway has served four U.S. Presidents and three governors. He served as Chief of Staff for the U.S. Department of Labor under Secretary Elaine Chao, as Chief of Staff at the Office of Personnel Management and as an agency Chief at the US Department of Homeland Security.

ABOUT GENERATION OPPORTUNITY
Generation Opportunity seeks to engage everyone from young adults, to early career professionals, college students, young mothers and fathers, construction workers, current service men and women, veterans, entrepreneurs, and all Americans who find themselves dissatisfied with the status quo and willing to create a better tomorrow.

Generation Opportunity operates on a strategy that combines advanced social media tactics with proven field tactics to reach Americans 18-29. The organization¹s social media platforms 'Being American by GO' on Facebook, and 'The Constitution by GO' on Facebook, have amassed a total fan base of more than 2.4 million.

Both Facebook pages post links to relevant articles and reports ranging from the federal General Accountability Office (GAO), to The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Brookings Institution, The Wall Street Journal, The Huffington Post, and The Heritage Foundation.
