Note from the Director
Our brand or promise is to be the world’s best development program for the next generation in family enterprise. Starting in 1998, with the nation’s second minor shortly thereafter, and creating the nation’s first major in Family Enterprise in 2004, we believe we have fulfilled our promise.
With the core of our Holistic Model being developing the next generation, we also conduct international conferences and research related to family enterprise, with an emphasis on the next generation.
We believe that the opportunity presented to the next generation be that of
- Leading their own family’s enterprise
- Being a business advisors to family enterprises, or
- Otherwise serving family enterprises, should be addressed as an integrated theme informing every part of a college education.
Specifically, we believe that the four greatest benefits of our program include:
- Greater credibility; legitimate confidence that others can evaluate
- Greater marketability; the skills, credentials and experiences to pursue a career you are passionate about.
- Deeper and more informed advice, feedback and support from your peers.
- Communication with your family on an adult and professional level.
We don’t just study family enterprise, we practice it!
Sincerely,
Dr. Greg McCann, Director and Founder
