All In The Family: Board Issues Regarding Family-Owned Boards

Family-owned businesses often benefit from a strong sense of purpose, long-term vision, and deeply rooted values. At the same time, they face governance challenges that can differ significantly from those of publicly traded or widely held private companies. Balancing family dynamics, ownership interests, business strategy, and board oversight requires thoughtful leadership and clear governance practices.

Join guest speaker panel Peter Bratney, Jeff Plagge, and Joe Riley, moderated by Suzzana de Baca, NACD.DC, for an engaging discussion on the unique opportunities and challenges facing family-owned boards. Topics will include succession planning, director independence, navigating family relationships in the boardroom, ownership transitions, board composition, and preserving both family legacy and business performance across generations.

This program offers an opportunity to connect with fellow directors and gain insights into one of the most complex and rewarding governance environments.
