Schneider School Launches Family Business Forum

Being a part of a family business is rewarding but also challenging. What better way to learn and grow your family business than to network with others who are dealing with similar issues?

The Schneider School of Business & Economics is launching a Family Business Forum starting with a daylong summit on Friday, April 3. The program allows participants the opportunity to explore relevant issues and topics, while discussing real-world challenges and opportunities within a select cohort of their peers.

The forum’s mission is to foster healthy family businesses through learning, sharing and creating effective solutions regarding critical issues and problems confronting family businesses.

“Family-owned businesses are an incredibly important part of our economy locally, regionally and nationally,” says Dean Stewart, executive director for the . “These organizations not only face the challenges that all businesses encounter, they have the added difficulties associated with navigating family relationships. It’s critical for these companies to have access to resources to assist them in developing their overall leadership and decision-making capabilities. That’s why the family business forum is so important to this region.”

The Family Business Forum will:

  • Serve as a self-sustaining forum for the collection and dissemination of information relevant to family businesses.
  • Build relationships among family businesses, professional organizations interested in assisting family businesses and 老澳门六合彩开奖记录.

  • Conduct research on family-business issues.
  • Provide family businesses access to educational resources including a family-business resource center and student interns.
  • Promote the economic and social value of family businesses.
The group will meet nine times per year, anchored by a daylong Family Business Summit each spring. There will be two-hour facilitated monthly sessions featuring subject-matter experts on topics of relevance to family-run businesses.
