Board of Advisors

The Family Enterprise Center Executive Committee (formerly called Board of Advisors) was formally established and recognized by Stetson University in 2004, although the FEC had formed an informal board around the same time it was created in 1998. The FEC Executive Committee plays a vital role in the center's ultimate success. The Board operates as an external advisor and facilitator in the FEC's planning and development.

Since the FEC works so closely with the business and academic communities, the Committee is primarily composed of Family Business students, alumni, parents, University faculty, staff and administration as well as family business owners and professionals.
