Location: James L. Allen Center, Evanston, Illinois, USA

Define and optimize the roles and responsibilities of owners, family members, independent board members, and the executive team as they face the unique set of challenges posed by family business governance.

The Kellogg School recognizes the specialized knowledge and skills needed to navigate a family business, and has designed a highly interactive and dynamic program to help accomplish goals of business success and sustainability. In this program you explore ways of uniting and building trust to increase your board’s effectiveness and contribution. The role of non-employed family shareholders will also be addressed.

The seminar shows you how to harness diverse interests and foster a cooperative spirit, and is taught by senior members of the Kellogg School of Management’s world-renowned faculty in conjunction with leading family governance experts who serve as directors of both family and non-family boards.
