The Network of Family Businesses has scheduled an on-line educational seminar with Jennifer Pendergast on the advantages of a family business to develop a Board of Directors. The seminar scheduled for Tuesday, April 12th at 11:00 AM EST is titled: The Valuable Role of the Board in Family Business.
In a White Paper found at www.netfamilybusiness.com Jennifer explains that to get the most out of a BOD the family / ownership must establish meaningful roles, clear expectations of the Board member, carefully structured meetings, and evaluations of the Board member. Pendergast states, “Putting together a board that is actively involved in the oversight of a company is a significant investment. If you make the investment that allows a board to play a meaningful role in your company, you will definitely reap the rewards.”
