Family businesses are uniquely complex, blending emotional family dynamics with strategic business decisions. The need for governance is that much more important for family businesses since there is a requirement for parallel and intertwining structures across the family and the business.

This exciting learning opportunity will feature a powerful presentation from Dr. Francesco Barbera, Academic Director of the Family Business Institute at Ted Rogers School, as well as an insightful discussion panel to explore how strong governance structures can help manage family business complexity and build long-term resilience.

Be sure to join us after the presentations for a fun filled social networking reception with drinks and snacks!
