A panel of FOX Enterprise Leaders will share best practices that global families use to strengthen their family enterprises. When the family values the continuation of the family and their enterprise beyond the original operating business, a set of guiding principles and practices lead the way for generations to come. Topics in this session will include how assets are owned in a family enterprise, how businesses grow, how decisions are made, what family learning and leadership looks like, how boards are selected and evaluated, and what place entrepreneurship holds for the family.

Upon the sale of the Knell family’s operating business, Harvey was confronted with a new set of challenges. How could he work to “let go early” like his father did so effectively, how he would support the transition of his family wealth, and most importantly to Harvey, how would he ensure critical skills were developed within his family to manage the enterprise. Allowing for the independence his sons desired and establishing accountability were top of mind as his family worked together to establish a successful family enterprise.

In this session we will explore how families make a difference on issues that are important to them through their businesses, their investing and their giving. Increasingly, we observe how families, wishing to make an impact with their wealth in their lifetime, have found creative ways to integrate both business concerns with philanthropic goals. Bruce and Paulina will share introductory comments on best practices in philanthropy, impact investing and environmental/social/governance concerns.

While we are accustomed to quarterly family meetings, monthly portfolio reviews, and annual family philanthropy gatherings, the environment in which families are learning is changing rapidly. At the same time, families are increasingly in search of more engaging learning opportunities for families. Families are seeking to inspire future wealth owners so the rising generation gets a chance to learn from the family and from the peer communities they join.

Leading family learning educators will each share 2-3 techniques that have been successful in supporting the unique learning objectives of some of their families. Explore which ones might resonate for you whether you are new at developing an educational curriculum or an experienced family that wants to go deeper. Time will be available for interactive dialogue.Family Educators:Mindy Kalinowsky Earley CMP, CFBA, Lifelong Learning Specialist, RDV CorporationAlexandria Elliott, Learning Officer, Chifam LLC
