Governance for Multigenerational Family Enterprises

Live, Online | December 9 | 1:00 PM-3:00 PM EST

The governance model that worked for a founder-led company rarely serves a third-generation family enterprise. As ownership becomes more diverse, boards face new expectations. Independent directors, board composition, succession planning, committee structure, family councils, and shareholder alignment become central to long-term success. The challenge is not fixing broken governance. It is building governance that matches the maturity of the enterprise.

Governance for Multigenerational Family Enterprises is a live online program focused on how family-owned companies strengthen governance across generations while preserving the values that have shaped their success. Through real governance scenarios and peer discussion, you'll evaluate board structures, recruitment strategies, and governance practices that support better decisions, stronger family alignment, and long-term stewardship.

The Value of Attending

The Case for Stronger Governance

Few programs address the boardroom realities created when family ownership, relationships, and enterprise strategy all meet at the same table. This live session lets you test governance choices against real multigenerational scenarios and compare how experienced directors approach independence, recruitment, decision rights, and Family Council dynamics. You’ll be better equipped to identify the governance changes your enterprise needs before the next ownership transition forces the issue.
