Passing the Torch: Top 5 Keys to Family Business Success Mark T. Green Ph.D., Family Business Consulting NGN endorsed seminar

Working with family and multiple generations is hard. Industry veterans and young leaders have to learn how to find a successful balance between the needs of the business and the people in it. Juggling the business and the relationship aspect often creates a lot of stress.

The challenge is we employ people with different goals, work ethics, expectations, and communication styles. Dr. Mark Green is an expert in helping people overcome these challenges. He speaks as a researcher, a professor, a consultant, and from his personal experience.

During this powerful session, Mark will provide clear tactical keys to finding success. He will cover succession planning for both the successor and the generation taking the lead. This session will also share best practices, research based insights, and tips for clear communication between generations.

Th e No r t h A m e r i c a n Ho m e Furnishings Association under-stands how important it is for busi-

nesses to keep an eye on what’s going on in the government. Legislation and regula-tions can have a huge impact on retail.

We work closely with our lobbyists, industry and national organizations and coalitions to gather the information and monitor the issues so our members can focus on their businesses.

We’re committed to championing the issues that matter to our members:

• Marketplace Fairness Act (sales tax for online sales)

• California’s Prop 65 and TB117-2013

• Interchange fees (debit card; swipe fees)

• Tax and healthcare reform • Employee/labor issues • Hours of Service
