How to Get Your Family Meeting Started


What Is The Purpose Of This Gathering?

The purpose of the gathering is to promote family harmony. The long-term goal of these gatherings is to create a shared vision that works for you individually, the family as a whole, and the family enterprise. This gathering is a celebration of individual and family successes and future dreams.

An organized family gathering is an opportunity to give each family member a chance to talk and feel involved. This is an opportunity to share your dreams, hopes for yourself, your immediate family, the extended family, and your business enterprise.

Who Should be Invited?

Any family member who works in or has an ownership stake in the business should be invited. Sons-in-law and daughters-in-law who serve an active role in the business should be invited . Most families invite any family member who works in the enterprise who is 14 years or older.
