The Rekerdres Clan - Adrienne, Madeline, Adam, Carolyn, Carolyn and Ted at Essentials of Family Business 2009
If you are considering this conference, it is likely for one of two reasons:
- You are a part of a family-owned enterprise and desire to enhance harmony and increase wealth
- You are at a crossroad of uncertainty or conflict, and someone has encouraged you to participate.
Whatever your reason, you can be assured of learning from the very best and brightest. Each of the workshop leaders is recognized for their contributions in their field.
The Essentials is an opportunity for you to open a dialogue with your family members about your future. Jessica Mintz of The Wall Street Journal advised that “Experts urge families to preempt problems by starting discussions early on. The experts recommend continuing talks around the dinner table and at get-togethers, where all relatives – not just those involved in the business – learn about the company. Unfortunately most families don’t start thinking about these issues until the older generation starts planning its estate. And by that point, they face some hard choices…”

During The Essentials you will learn not only from the experts, but also from your peer group. The Essentials is designed for interaction among all participants and is not restricted to teacher-student. You will listen to real examples of how other family enterprises have dealt with important issues.
