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 Business School. Family Businesses are a crucial piece in our regional economy and in the lives of their families and employees.

Thank you to everyone who came to our event "What's Your Business Worth and Are You Ready To Sell". We had an amazing conversation with Bob McCormack from Murphy McCormack and Paul Rushton from Rosenn Jenkins & Greenwald LLP about business evaluation and the variables that go into that assessment. This conversation helped prepare those who are not ready to sell right now but are thinking about the various possibilities of succession of their business.

What a great conversation at Wednesday’s Secret Lives of Women event!
Thank you to everyone who joined us and to Michele Dempsey, AIA, LEED AP and Elizabeth Graham of the Spark Me Podcast for leading such an engaging and meaningful discussion!
The group leaned into micro-shifts—small, intentional changes that can make a real difference in the areas of life that matter most to us, whether that's work, family, friendships, or personal passions.
Sometimes, small changes lead to the biggest impact! Thank you all for sharing your experiences, insights, and encouragement.
