People First Culture: The Family Business Advantage
 

Family businesses have something special - a natural ability to create genuine, "people first" cultures built on trust, shared values, and a long-term vision. Join us as we dive into how nurturing that culture can spark loyalty, bring in great talent, and give you an edge that others just can’t replicate. 
 
Discover practical ways to put your values to work and hear straight from a panel of family business members sharing their own stories of how strong culture has helped them grow, inspire their teams, and navigate big changes.

Key Takeaways:
  • Turn your family business culture into a unique competitive advantage
  • Build trust and connection across generations
  • Attract and keep top talent through values-driven leadership
  • Lean on culture when facing transitions or change
  • Convert shared values into measurable results



 

Panelists:
Jamie Barcelona - VP People Services, Donatos
Kent Johnson - CEO, Highlights for Children
John Ness - CEO, ODW Logistics
Michael Schoedinger - President, Schoedinger Funeral & Cremation Services
