“The week in Boston with Professor John Davis and his colleagues was well worth the time and effort taken to attend. When our first and second generation attended nine years ago, they began to lay the strong foundation our family enterprise now sits on. Attending was both enlightening and invaluable for me because my generation of the family is beginning to participate in leading the family as well. This one week alone isn't enough to solve all of the challenges inherent in family business, but you will definitely leave with a clear action plan that will strengthen your family and position your family enterprise for long-term success.”
