Simple question: Do you miss human connection when you use self-checkout at the grocery store? Complex question: How is cogeneration threatened by AI, profit-driven “efficiencies,” and automation — and what can we do about it? Allison Pugh, author of the book The Last...
On Friday, May 15, I had the great honor to address the 2026 graduates of Drew University, including the undergraduate College of Liberal Arts, the Theological School, and the Caspersen School of Graduate Studies. I'm very grateful to Drew's remarkable President...
Across the country, young people and older people are stepping up as civic leaders. But too often, they do this critical work with peers, in age-segregated spaces. Young people work without the benefit of older generations who bring lived experience, networks, and a...

We’re taking cogenerational co-leadership to the next level. Meet the new co-chairs of our board of directors: David Hsu and Raymond A. Jetson. Both have served on the board for years.
We are so grateful to outgoing Board Chair Susan Gianinno, who led our transition from Encore.org to CoGenerate, and from one CEO to two.
At the time we became co-CEOs, Susan wrote, “Given our increasing focus on the intergenerational opportunity, we’re thrilled to announce an approach that rests on a cross-generational partnership. It feels so important to walk the talk, practicing cogeneration as we support others who are reaching across generational divides to change the world.”
And so it is now with the co-chairs of our board. Separated by nearly 30 years in age, from different cultures and career paths, David and Ray are respected thought leaders, believers in bridging divides of all kinds, and champions of cogeneration. We’re so glad that they’re taking the reins together.
At the same time, we added three new board members — all dazzling leaders.
Bina Venkataraman is an executive, journalist, and science & innovation policy expert whose leadership roles have spanned The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, The Broad Institute, and the Obama White House.
Arielle Galinsky is co-founder and CEO of The Legacy Project, Inc., a MPP/JD candidate at the Harvard Kennedy School and Yale Law School, a winner of the Eisner Prize Fellowship for her intergenerational work, and an advocate for aging policy reform at the state and national levels.
Alex Edgar — a Gen Z civic leader reimagining how institutions share power across generations — is co-founder of Youth250 at Made By Us, a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, recipient of the John Lewis Youth Leadership Award, and a member of the Points of Light Board of Directors.
As we transition to new board co-chairs and welcome new board members, we’re pleased to report that Susan will stay on the board, along with Dotty Hayes, Lofton Holder, Marina Kim, and Rabbi Laura Geller. Chip Conley remains an honorary board member.
We couldn’t be more grateful to have this wise, accomplished, diverse group of leaders and advisors as our partners, as we work to change the narrative from generations apart to generations together.
