Family Business Alliance
The Family Business Alliance believes that a healthy business also makes for a healthy family.
For 20 years, our mission is to be the trusted resource providing world-class services to empower regional family-owned businesses. We accomplish this through educational programs, networking, counsel and guidance so that success is achieved for the community. It is important work: family-owned businesses account for two thirds of all businesses around the world according to John Davis of Harvard
Congratulations to the Family Business Alliance on a successful Lunch & Learn event! Last Wednesday, the FBA presented "Excelling Through Unexpected Crises, Choices, and Challenges" at Wilkes University. The panel presentation included Chuck Cohen, Julie Charlestein, Todd Stephens, and Darcy Buck. The program offered a great opportunity for attendees to enjoy lunch and interact with the panel members. Lee Piatt, MaryJo Kishel, and Josh Donvito of our Business & Finance Department attended the event. Our firm has been a long-time sponsor of the FBA and our attorneys regularly attend and present seminars at their events.
