SUMMARY:Kinnect Calgary: What’s Fair? Compensation\, Contribution and Ownership in Family Enterprise
DESCRIPTION:Open to Guests & all FEC Members – Join us in Calgary! \nCompensation in family enterprises is rarely just a financial decision. It is where questions of fairness\, contribution\, ownership and expectation intersect. This Kinnect Calgary panel discussion will explore how families navigate compensation across different roles\, generations and ownership structures. \nThrough the perspectives of governance\, tax and human resources professionals\, the session will examine the distinction between compensation for effort\, compensation for ownership and recognition of stewardship. Rather than offering prescriptive answers\, the discussion will surface the tensions\, trade-offs and decision frameworks that family enterprises and their advisors must navigate as they seek to align compensation practices with family values\, business sustainability and long-term continuity. \nThe evening will include a moderated panel discussion\, audience engagement and networking. \nPlease note: This is a relationship-building event focused on peer connections and learning. No solicitation or selling of services is permitted\, particularly for any advisors attending the event. \n\n	Event Details\n	\n\n	When\n	\n	Wednesday\, November 4\, 20264:00 PM - 6:00 PM MST () \n\n	Who Can Attend\n	\n	This event is open to guests and all members of Family Enterprise Canada. \n\n	Where\n	\n	The Ranchmen’s Club (map it)\n710 13th Avenue SW\nCalgary\, Alberta\,\nCanada T2R 0K9\n\n	Contact\n	\n	For help with registration\,\nemail events@familyenterprise.ca\n\n	Cost\n	\n	$25 + tax \n	   Register now\n	Members are requested to log in to their account when registering for this event.\nKinnect event tickets are non-refundable.\n\n	Moderator\n	\n														\n\n	Cory Gagnon\, FEA\, CEC\, CEPA\, MFA-P (Hons)\, MASenior Wealth Advisor\, CI Assante Wealth Management │ Beacon Family Office\n	\n	Cory Gagnon grew up in a multi-generational family business\, where he experienced both the pride and the pressure that can come with enterprise\, ownership\, and wealth.

Cory brings a systems perspective to his work\, looking at the individuals involved\, the relationships between them\, the advisors surrounding the family\, and the impact those relationships have on the broader family enterprise system. \nBy integrating strategy\, soul\, and succession\, Cory helps families see their terrain more clearly\, make wise decisions\, and build the clarity\, alignment\, and capabilities to climb their own mountains and steward what matters across generations. \nCory is the Managing Principal of Beacon Family Enterprise Consulting and a Senior Wealth Advisor with Beacon Family Office.
