Event Description:
One of the most interesting (and sometimes challenging) issues family businesses face is the question of how to invite and integrate children into a family business. The cliche about the issues of every family business being unique is amplified by the difference in the kinds of business challenges that each business enterprise faces in working to be successful.
In our May meeting we will talk about opportunities and pitfalls in bringing children into a family business. Three family business owners will talk about their approach to creating a path to successful integration: Chris Converse of Converse Electric will discuss what he and his dad and sister learned through the company's leadership transition. Mark DeBellis, owner of Suburban Steel Supply, will talk about his efforts to get his son ready for leadership through mentoring, and Steve Ulrey, President of Flyers Pizza, will lay out steps he and his brothers are taking to get their children ready for a role in the highly competitive pizza business. Thaddeus O'Brien, of O'Brien & Associates, will set the stage for the discussion and moderate the panel.
