Testimonials from FBF Members:

"I commend King's College for the development of the Family Business Forum. We were moved to action by the first event we attended. The result of our family succession planning has made our business stronger; we are more committed than ever about the growth and continuity of our business."

"I was very impressed, not only with the caliber of the speakers and presentations, but also with the relevance of the topics to the issues we face at Cornell Iron Works. Our involvement with the FBF has resulted in significant changes at Cornell. After all, change is the ultimate proof of take home value!
The FBF has also created a conduit through which people involved in the unique challenges of family business can meet and network. The program has become a valuable resource for me."
