Everyday events can and do affect family businesses.
The forum is a program of the Johnson Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation in IU's Kelley School of Business. Ron and Carol Ernst, founders of Leadership Horizons, will facilitate discussions between and within business generations on issues that are often the most difficult aspect of the family business. The benefits of prenuptial agreements, how to use wills and trusts to avoid problems, and other legal arrangements also will be covered. Companies are invited to bring cross-generational members from their businesses. Time will be set aside during the workshop to break into generation groups to discuss the topics.
