In July, Sally and Henry presented "Family Business Governance: Legacy or Lunacy?"

Reflections from Past Forums

In June, over 40 people attended the Good Health is Good Business Mini-Forum. Taking care of yourself and your associates is an issue for all successful family businesses.
Per Dan Sullivan, Dunmore Corporation, "It was most helpful to learn about the best practices that were shared during the presentation. My action item is to share what I learned with others and discuss what we can do better".
The topic in July was , and again was well received by over 65 attendees! Presented by Lacher & Associates, 100% of those surveyed confirmed that it was a good investment of their time!

From our Founder, Henry Landes

In a recent gathering of a remarkable group of men whom I count as "soul brothers", I asked each member to reflect on our fathers. With a mixture of anxiety, affection and tears, we all shared about the Main Man of our lives. Barry Young, our oldest and perhaps our wisest member, was the last to speak. His story, which grows out of his family's business (pharmacy) in Bethlehem, has lessons for both generations.
Thanks to Barry for generously sharing "Gifts from my Father".
