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.

Join us in person for our first in this series of quarterly succession planning sessions as we discuss the key questions that families may ask in the early stages of the succession planning.
We will explore the fundamental concepts that underlie a successful succession process including the discussion of the hard/soft side of succession planning for family business. Why it is so complicated….what gets in the way? Why documents can’t be “cookie-cutter easy?…”
Attorneys Bea Wolper of Emens Wolper Jasin Jacobs and Meredith Sugar of Taft/ will facilitate this discussion, give practical advice, and answer any questions you may have.

Keys to Family Business Success
We all know that running a business has enough challenges without the added complication of family relationships. The importance of soft issues in family businesses and the way they are anchored in emotion, is often understated and if glossed over, they can lead to hard problems. In this session we will discuss the top essentials for a successful, harmonious family business.
What have you found to be the most important elements of your family business? Do you have a set of soft rules for your family business? Come share with the group and let's learn together!

The Story Behind Your Family Business
Behind every family business is a great story. We want to hear yours! If you are an owner or next gen, we'd like to hear the background of your family business including:
• What is your business, when/who started it?
• Where did the idea for your business come from?
• How did you get the name of your business?
• If next gen, why did you decide to become involved in your family business?
• How many family members are still in the business?
• What is your succession plan (if known)?
• What has been your biggest challenge and your biggest accomplishment since starting/joining your family business?
All are invited to this session - non-family and Service Providers members are welcome too! Learn, ask questions, and discover the inspiration and insight from those sharing their family business stories.
