I have held the position of Executive Director on a part-time basis with the Centre for Family Business since September, 2005. It has undoubtedly been and continues to be a very enjoyable and rewarding experience. The warmth and caring displayed by our members is evident at every one of our functions. Our breakfast events bring a large group of members, sponsors, advisors, affiliates and guests together for the purpose of sharing, networking and “sharpening the saw” (as per Stephen Covey). In the vein of continually striving toward providing value to all of our stakeholders, I am very pleased to welcome you to our new and revised website. The goals for our new website include the following:

• Provide resources and tools for existing members
• Attract perspective members to our site and organization
• Provide sponsors and advisors additional value
• Promote member businesses
• Engage 2nd generation family business members
• Increase the awareness of the CFFB
• Allow for more interactivity

Certainly these goals support our mission to support, educate and energize family businesses. Please feel free to contact me at your convenience to share your thoughts and ideas for the future prosperity of the Centre for Family Business. Articles, blog posts, book reviews, etc. are always welcomed for sharing on our website.
