Dear Friend of the Family Business Center:

 

We'd like to offer your clients and members a 10% discount to our special event on November 11th featuring Dave Rife and the White Castle Family. The White Castle executive who skyrocketed to fame by keeping his identity a secret on "Undercover Boss" is coming to Louisville, but this time he's sharing the company's secrets.

Dave Rife and four other White Castle executives are headlining the UofL Family Business Center's "Next Generation Innovation Summit" November 11 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel.  

All five executives are family members with leadership roles in the iconic 89-year-old family-owned chain.  Their presentation of "10 Dimensions of Innovation" will reveal how the company famous for "Sliders" continues to generate quiet innovation by tapping the creativity of each succeeding generation.  Rife, the great-grandson of the White Castle founder E.W. Ingram, became an overnight celebrity after he got his buns crushed while masquerading as a trainee at one of the company's restaurants for the CBS-TV program "Undercover Boss."

The Summit also will feature similar 'ambidextrous thinking' as used successfully by a family-owned Louisville company, Whip Mix.  Founded in 1919, the traditional dental lab was a market leader but faced a crossroads with the rise of digital dentistry in the 70's and 80's.  When the company purchased another firm specializing in high-tech dental products, it challenged long-standing family traditions for how the company should operate and grow.

The Summit is sponsored for the FBC by Presenting Sponsor Axiom Financial Strategies Group, Wells Fargo Insurance, The Oliver Group and Middleton Reutlinger, PSC, all of whom specialize in services to family-owned businesses.  The Thursday, November 11 program starts at 8:30 a.m. and concludes at 4:00 p.m.  Seating is limited and registration is required. Visit www.regonline.com/fbcnovember2010  or call 502.852.4795 for details.  The cost is $40 per person for Family Business Center members, $65 for Professional Advisor members and $135 for non-members.  Early bird discounts are available for registrations prior to Oct. 1.
