The Conway Center for Family Business provides highly relevant, topical and original programming that helps members learn, stay informed and share experiences with their peers. These family-focused educational programs are unique to the Center and cannot be found anywhere else in Central Ohio.
In addition, we offer enjoyable social interactions that allow members to build strong relationships. We believe that some of the most productive experiences are created in less formal, group settings where relationships can be built, ideas shared and new opportunities hatched.
Just some of these activities include our annual Family Business Awards & Expo, Monthly Educational Programs, Networking and Social Events and Peer Groups. Please see our Events Calendar for topics that can provide solutions to your family business challenge.

Setting Boundaries - Setting healthy boundaries at work is essential. Without them, it can lead to toxic situations, overwhelm, disrespect, and increased stress levels. To set healthy boundaries, it is important to know your bandwidth and learn to say no. In family businesses, where the lines are much hazier, defining boundaries can be particularly difficult.
Join us as we discuss specific examples and strategies of how to set and communicate boundaries. By being clear, concise, and addressing boundary violations on the spot, learn how to protect your time, energy, mental well-being, and avoid negative consequences.
