SUMMARY:FBN Miami Hub: Americas Speaker Series Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Family Business Goal Setting: Aligning Family Aspirations with Business Reality \nOpen to All Family Members –  Join FBN’s Miami hub online with Dr. Joe Astrachan as he explores the importance of family businesses setting goals that align family aspirations with business reality. \nLong-term success in a family enterprise depends on more than a strong business strategy – it requires alignment between what the family expects and what the business can realistically deliver. This webinar examines how families can clarify expectations around returns\, growth\, dividends\, reinvestment\, risk\, and employment\, and translate them into sound strategic and financial choices. This session explores how families can make these expectations explicit and translate them into coherent strategic and financial choices. Participants will gain practical tools to align owner aspirations with business capabilities while understanding the fiscal realities that shape what is (and is not) possible over the long term. \nIn this session\, participants will: \n\nIdentify the key elements required for long-term alignment among owners\, family\, and management\nUnderstand how financial realities influence and discipline goal setting\nLearn a simple framework to harmonize family growth\, shareholder needs\, and business performance across generations\nAssess whether current business lines can realistically support family expectations\, or where recalibration is needed\n\nThis webinar is designed for family owners\, directors\, and next-generation members seeking to connect purpose\, performance\, and continuity. \nEvent Details\nWhen\nWednesday\, August 26\, 20263:00 PM - 4:30 PM EDT () \nWho Can Attend\nThis event is open to all Family members of Family Enterprise Canada. \nWhere\nOnline via Zoom- link will be sent to registrants upon registration \nContact\nFor help with registration\,email events@familyenterprise.ca \nCost\nIncluded with your FEC Family membership \n   Register now\nFacilitator\n \nDr. Joe AstrachanBoard member and Co-Founder at Generation6 | Family Enterprise Advisors\nJoe\, former chair and a founder of Generation6 (a family business consulting firm)\, comes from a family that has owned or led many family businesses including Meindersma\, a Dutch pharmaceutical company sold to AKZO Nobel\, and the world’s third largest shipping company in the 1970s\, NYSE listed Seatrain Lines\, which ceased operation in the 1980s following the death of the patriarch\, sending the family into chaos\, and the company into a death spiral. \nJoe is a scholar as much as he is a practitioner: He is former Editor of the Family Business Review and the Journal of Family Business Strategy (of which he was co-founder).
