Family businesses--and the specific challenges faced by a younger generation transitioning into leadership roles--were the topics of a Business Leadership Forum presented by the Lundquist College this October. The second in a series of quarterly events hosted by Dean Kees de Kluyver--and aimed at an audience of local business leaders--the forum's feature speaker was Mark T. Green, an internationally known family business consultant. "By offering topics that often aren't covered elsewhere, we enable local business leaders to discover the expertise and resources the Lundquist College offers," said director of corporate relations Betsy Richanbach. "Plus, it's a great opportunity for Lane County business executives to get to know each other better." The next forum will take place in January 2012 (exact date TBD). Interested in attending?
