Australia Family Enterprise Council - February 2017

Overview

Wednesday, February 8, 2017 - 6:30pm to Thursday, February 9, 2017 - 6:30pm

The FOX Family Enterprise Council is comprised of family leaders and trusted executives pursuing a long-term view of their enterprise. It provides a place where members can find a highly select group of peers with whom to help define and refine the work they do. They have similar goals, challenges and can make a meaningful contribution to this growing community of peers.

The purpose of this council is to elevate the professional and personal performance of family leaders and their most trusted advisors in order to enhance the operation of the broader family enterprise and long term well-being of the family.

The work of the Council is guided by two experienced FOX relationship managers, supported by research, case studies, Council peers, and outside subject matter experts to help address the needs of that Council. Critically selected speakers from the Council and other FOX groups provide the educational programs that enhance the peer exchange.
