Monadnock Family Business Summit 

The Monadnock Family Business Summit will bring together a number of family business experts, including scholars, consultants, lawyers, accountants and bankers as well as experienced family business owners to discuss the strengths and challenges inherent to family business.

Attendees will leave the seminar with an awareness of the big (and small) issues that have brought down family businesses in the past, many ideas for strengthening and preparing their family business for the future, and a new support network for helping solve specific problems related to family business.

There will also be opportunities for family business managers and owners to give feedback to the facilitators regarding their needs and what resources they would like available in our community to better support family businesses.
