Who Should Participate
This seminar is recommended for and geared towards bankers from family-owned banks: directors, CEOs, presidents, or other senior management.
TOPICS:
Family Business Governance
We will begin by focusing on clearly understanding the realms of influence versus control in your family business system. We will explore how to consistently provide a singular shareholder voice to the operating company board as your family grows into multiple generations, and how to manage additional non-bank assets in a well-structured manner. Doing so requires clarity around the roles family members must play simultaneously--no small feat! But with careful planning and continued healthy conversation it can be accomplished.
Learning Objectives:
Build clarity regarding the realms of influence and control in your governance system
Explore various models, structures and roles that families employ
Learn about how the governance model must adjust as the family grows over generations
Preparing the Next Generation for Ownership
Starting the conversation about succession across generations is far from easy. Each generation brings unique needs, wants, and questions to the table. In this session, we will welcome perspectives from across generations to the conversation and together provide ideas on how to talk about those often-avoided topics of management and ownership succession. Through case studies and group discussion, we will start to address some of the questions we know are on your mind.
Learning Objectives:
Engage family members and those that serve family clients in cross-generational conversation about continuity
Work through a composite case study to highlight some of the challenges and ideas for ways to support continuity (using some models, frameworks, structures)
Provide participants with ways to frame their thinking and conversations on engaging and developing the next generation
Give participants space to share their challenges and crowdsource solutions (peer to peer)
