Governance is often
described as one of the fundamental responsibilities of ownership of a
multi-generational family business. Therefore, adopting solid governance
practices for your family and business may be two of the most beneficial
actions you can take.
In this webinar we will discuss
the purpose, development and the effective use of Boards and Family Councils,
the primary governance platforms in a family enterprise. With proper execution,
Boards and Family Councils add a unique accountability component; this serves
to propel growth and higher-level functioning for the business, its owners and
the family. Emphasis will be placed on the effective
use of these influential structures, including essential criteria for
Directors and those who serve in this critical capacity.
